Happy Valley is a gripping documentary that exposes the dark truth behind a beloved American icon. For over 40 years, Joe Paterno was known as "Saint Joe," the revered head coach of Penn State's celebrated football team. But when his former assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky, was charged with 40 counts of child sex abuse in 2011, Paterno's legacy was shattered. The film delves beneath the headlines to uncover a culture of silence and complicity that allowed Sandusky's crimes to go unchecked for years. With rare access and powerful interviews, Happy Valley is a haunting tale of guilt, redemption, and identity that rocks America's Happy Valley to its core.
