Join Monroe County NOW and special guests for a panel discussion on the Netflix film Athlete A on Wednesday, December 9, at 7:30pm. Athlete A is a documentary about an August 2016 article in the Indianapolis Star concerning sexual abuse in USA Gymnastics involving team doctor Larry Nassar. The film follows IndyStar reporters as they reveal the extensive cover-up that allowed abuse to thrive within elite-level gymnastics for more than two decades, the attorney who is fighting the institutions that failed these athletes, and most importantly, the brave survivors who refuse to be silenced.

We are asking participants to view the film prior to the event. The film is exclusively on Netflix at this time. You can view the trailer for the film at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzeP0DKSqdQ. You can access the film at https://www.netflix.com/title/81034185 or any streaming device.

Poet, activist, and journalist Sandra Hochman and an all-female crew documented and participated in the radical interventions of the Women’s Movement at the 1972 Democratic National Convention. These activists and filmmakers challenged media anchors, including Walter Cronkite, on the limited coverage of African-American Democratic Presidential candidate Shirley Chisholm. This rarely screened, recently restored film is a celebration of female filmmaking and feminist political action and includes appearances by Gloria Steinem, Liz Renay, Betty Friedan, Flo Kennedy, Coretta Scott King, Shirley MacLaine, and many others.

A post-screening discussion organized by Monroe County NOW will follow the film. Panelists include IU professor of political science Jean C. Robinson and Rudy Professor of sociology Pamela B. Walters.

This partnership is supported through IU Cinema’s Creative Collaborations program.

This program is sponsored by IU Libraries Moving Image Archive, Lilly Library, Monroe County National Organization for Women (NOW), and IU Cinema.
