Directed by Amir Bar-Lev / 98 min.
The town of State College, the home of Penn State University, lies at the heart of an area long known as Happy Valley. Its iconic figure for more than 40 years was Joe Paterno, the head coach of the school's storied football team, who took on mythic national stature as 'Saint Joe.' But then, in November 2011, everything came crashing down. Former Assistant Coach Jerry Sandusky was charged with 40 counts of child sex abuse. Filmed over the course of the year after Sandusky's arrest, Happy Valley chronicles the ensuing firestorm of accusations about who failed to protect Happy Valley's children.
