In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2021, please join us for a virtual screening of Athlete A and accompanying discussion. This event will be held on Wed., April 14, 2021 at 12pm EST. We anticipate that the movie and discussion will take approximately 2.5 hours for a 2:30 end time.

The Athlete A documentary focuses on gymnasts who survived USA gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar's abuse and the reporters who exposed USAG's toxic culture. For more about this film, please visit https://athleteafilm.com/.

This workshop will include a virtual screening and discussion of the film. Participants can also choose to view the film on their own and join us for the discussion.

Access to a Netflix account will be necessary for viewing the film. The discussion will be held on Zoom.

Registrants will be sent a Zoom link & further information via email.

This workshop is intended for participants ages 16+. If you are under 16 and would like to participate, please watch with a parent, guardian, or someone else you can trust. Trained Rape Crisis Counselors will be available virtually throughout this event to provide support if needed.
