Athlete A

Athlete A (2020) is an investigative documentary you can watch online on iFILM. A handful of reporters at The Indianapolis Star pull one thread — and unravel the scandal that broke USA Gymnastics open.

Maggie Nichols was the unnamed "Athlete A" whose complaint set everything in motion. Alongside her, Rachael Denhollander, Jamie Dantzscher and other former national-team gymnasts finally say out loud what the federation spent years burying, while reporter Mark Alesia and his colleagues piece together the case against team doctor Larry Nassar.

Directors Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk frame it less as courtroom recap than as a question about the cost of gold — what adults will ignore when medals are on the line. Cold, controlled and quietly furious, it leaves the Olympic podium looking very different. Stream Athlete A (2020) online on iFILM.
