Special Q/A with Judge Rosemarie Aquilina who presided over the infamous trial and sentenced Larry Nassar

PRODUCERS: David Ullich, Steven Ungerleider
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.”

Erin Lee Carr is best known for Thought Crimes: The Case of the Cannibal Cop, Mommy Dead and Dearestand the HBO documentary I Love You, Now Die: The Commonwealth vs. Michelle Carter. She is also the author of All That You Leave Behind: A Memoir. Carr is the daughter of the late The New York Times media columnist David Carr.
