Watch Surviving Ohio State

Directed and produced by Oscar® and Emmy®-winning filmmaker Eva Orner (HBO's Brandy Hellville & The Cult of Fast Fashion), Surviving Ohio State tells the story of the male victims of Dr. Richard Strauss, a sports medicine physician and serial sex abuser employed by The Ohio State University (OSU) from 1978 to 1998. Bravely told by the student-athletes and others who concealed their trauma for years, the film builds on the efforts of whistleblowers and journalists who exposed the scandal in 2018. The documentary also examines the culture that allowed the abuse to continue unchecked for nearly two decades at OSU, as well as the survivors' ongoing fight to hold the school accountable.

Surviving Ohio State is a 2025 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 50 minutes.
