The documentary Surviving Ohio State is produced by George Clooney and directed by Academy Award winner Eva Orner.
Surviving Ohio State explores the sexual abuse scandal surrounding sports doctor Richard Strauss, whose two-decade tenure at Ohio State University was marred by the abuse of hundreds of students. Several lawsuits filed by survivors are still pending, including accusations that the university ignored Strauss's actions and allowed them to continue.
In her poignant analysis, Orner uses compelling interviews with survivors to illuminate the profound trauma inflicted and the systemic failures that allowed the abuse to persist. By painstakingly revealing the details of a 2019 investigative report conducted by the university, which resulted in the payment of more than $60 million to victims, she not only draws attention to a dark chapter in college athletics, but also sparks a vital dialogue on the urgent call for better student protections within educational institutions
