Well #AthleteA on Netflix was a tough watch. My respect for those young girls and how they handled what they went through is immeasurable.

I just watched #AthleteA on @netflix and truthfully, I may need to throw up now.

You are a true heroine @MagsGotSwag12. For surviving, for seeking justice, for fighting for your own well-being, for earning your championships. Thank you for being you. #AthleteA

Athlete A Interview — Doc10 From the directors of the acclaimed films Audrie & Daisy and An Inconvenient Sequel, Athlete A uncovers the truths behind the rampant abuse across USA Gymnastics: from the Olympic doctor who was convicted to the dozens of coaches that have been banned. Equal parts devastating and inspiring, Athlete A follows the IndyStar reporters as they reveal the extensive cover-up and culture of cruelty that was allowed to thrive within elite-level gymnastics, the attorney fighting the institutions, and most importantly, the brave whistle-blowers who refuse to be silenced, including Maggie Nichols, once dubbed “Athlete A.” Filmmakers Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk discuss the film’s current resonances with the Me Too movement, corruption in competitive sport, and building an emotional story.
