Picking the brains of Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk in ‘A Conversation on Athlete A’
Picking the brains of Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk in ‘A Conversation on Athlete A’It has been four years since the shocking sexual-abuse scandal involving the USA Gymnastics women’s team doctor Larry Nassar surfaced — exposing his extreme misconduct and misuse of power to manipulate young athletes during his 29-year career. This past summer, “Athlete A” was released on Netflix, which details the whirlwind of events that followed. Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk — the brilliant minds behind the film — construct a compelling and chilling documentary that empowers survivors while confronting the perpetrators who allowed the abuse to fester. Cohen and Shenk craftily weave numerous storylines within the one hour and 44 minutes of the film, exploring the importance of investigative journalism, USAG’s toxic culture and, most importantly, the stories of the survivors. At the Virginia Film Festival, the directors engaged in a conversation with U.Va. Women and Gender Studies Prof. Bonnie Hagerman to talk through their process of creating the film.
