Tonya Harding Revisited

The Leonard Lopate Show | Dec 11, 2017

Screenwriter Steven Rogers discusses his new film, "I, Tonya," starring Margot Robbie and Allison Janney. It’s based on the true story of American figure skater, Tonya Harding, the first American woman to complete a triple axel in competition. But her legacy was forever defined by her association with an infamous, ill-conceived, and even more poorly executed attack on fellow Olympic competitor Nancy Kerrigan. Now playing at AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13 and Angelika Film Center.

This segment is guest hosted by Jonathan Capehart.
