In 2016, USA Gymnastics was rocked by the shocking revelation that national team doctor Larry Nassar had been abusing young athletes for decades. At The Heart of Gold: Inside the USA Gymnastics Scandal reveals a dangerous system that prioritized winning over everything else, including protecting young female athletes. A New York Times reviewer said the film is a chilling reminder that real predators rarely look and act like movie monsters. A review in Esquire dubbed the film, One of the 15 best HBO documentaries of all time.
