Training Rules
Dir Dee Mosbacher & Fawn Yacker, USA, 2009, 60 min

No drugs. No drinking. No lesbians. For more than 25 years, Penn State University women’s basketball coach Rene Portland made her Training Rules eminently clear. While the school turned a blind eye to this homophobic philosophy, talented young players were harassed, thrown off the team and stripped of their college scholarships. But in 2006, sophomore Jennifer Harris took on the Penn State machine and its iconic coach, and sued for discrimination.
