Larry Nassar survivor Trinea Gonczar to speak on documentary
 

Larry Nassar abuse survivor Trinea Gonczar will join Judge Rosemarie Aquilina and attorney Mick Grewal during WMU-Cooley’s fall kick-off Community Conversation panel discussion “At the Heart of Gold” on Thursday, Sept. 30. The discussion will reflect on the recently released documentary “At the Heart of Gold: Inside the USA Gymnastics Scandal.”

The documentary reveals the dangerous system that prioritized winning over everything else, including protecting young female athletes. Gonczar will share her experiences as a survivor. Aquilina, who sentenced Nassar; and Grewal, who represented 139 of the 543 survivors against USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic Committee, will speak about their roles in highly publicized scandal. The panelists will answer questions from those attending the virtual event.
