'There are good people out there, and there are really bad people out there. We need to be aware of where our kids are in a gym situation,' one of the producers told Newsweek.
A new HBO documentary about Larry Nassar started production before Nassar's accusers came forward. At the time, the documentary wasn’t specific to Nassar, but it was going to address sexual abuse in American gymnastics as a whole.
The leading angle wasn’t immediately clear. “We became aware many years ago of this specific behavior,” Ungerleider told Newsweek. “We were talking every day and deeply concerned that things weren’t being addressed. The goal was to educate parents, athletes, people in all aspects of the sport. There are good people out there, and there are really bad people out there. We need to be aware of where our kids are in a gym situation.
Finding their way into this advocacy project was natural for both Ungerleider and Ulich. “This situation has been pervasive for 30 years,” Ungerleider said. “Because we’re known in the elite athlete world, people were calling us asking how they get help.” The decision to create At The Heart of Gold was ultimately a declaration that time was up for those sheltering abusers from true justice. “I think Steven and I struggled with it for a while, but came to the realization that it would take drastic actions to make changes,” said Ulich. “The Olympics and USA gyms were really slow to react to this, and pointed finger at other people. All of that is pretty well documented. We decided simply standing on the sidelines was no longer acceptable.
