Happy Valley - Happy Valley - DVD

Happy Valley takes an unflinching look at an iconic American institution in the wake of unthinkable scandal. Nestled in the idyllic area known as Happy Valley lies the town of State College and the home of Penn State University. For over 40 years, head football coach Joe Paterno was a revered figure in a town where team loyalty approached nationalistic fervor. Then in November 2011 everything changed when assistant coach Sandusky was charged with 40 counts of child sex abuse, setting off accusations about who failed to protect the children of Happy Valley. Director Bar-Lev creates an indelible portrait of a wounded community and an engrossing investigation into the role big time college football played in both the crimes and their aftermath.
