I, Tonya

"I, Tonya," based on the incredible true events, is an examination of Tonya Harding, the most controversial figure in the history of figure skating, and the headline-grabbing scandal that mesmerized a nation. Presenting multiple, and at times contradictory, perspectives of the events, the film explores the ways public opinion can be permanently shaped by news agendas and tabloid culture. The film tells the story of a complex story of resilience and perseverance, as a rebellious working-class girl pursues her dream competing in a "ladylike" sport, only to be caught up in controversy and criminal circumstances created by her involvement with those closest to her. Though Harding was the first American woman to complete a triple axel in competition, her legacy was forever defined by her association with the infamous attack on fellow Olympic competitor Nancy Kerrigan.
