'Surviving Ohio State' will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, focusing on the abuses by Dr. Richard Strauss at Ohio State University. The film, based on Jon Wertheim's 2020 Sports Illustrated article, features interviews with former student athletes and explores the lasting impact of the abuse and the institutional failures that allowed it to persist from 1978 to 1998. Directed by Eva Orner and produced by significant figures including George Clooney, it will also highlight the survivors' quest for justice, airing on HBO Max after its festival debut.
The documentary reveals deeply personal accounts of survivors of Dr. Richard Strauss's abuse while critically examining the culture at Ohio State that enabled such acts.
In 'Surviving Ohio State', director Eva Orner and producer Jon Wertheim explore how the abuse went unchecked for nearly two decades amid a powerful athletic culture.
