A look into the horrifying sexual abuse scandal that rocked USA Gymnastics. Its difficult to watch but its must watch. I highly recommend it.

Review:
This was the best thing I have ever seen. Lin-Manuel Miranda is a genius. My favorite parts are the rap battles between Jefferson and Hamilton.

Fun and entertaining to watch. More serious than the 1998 animated version with themes of honor, family, and feminism. I did miss the humor and music of the animated version.
