Sobre este episodio
When Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was attacked in January 1994 it was the story of all stories that year. Fast forward 28 years later and we're sitting down with director Justin Young who's directorial debut, My Hero the Hitman, focuses on the person who was hired to attack Nancy Kerrigan, Shane Stant, and his sister Maile Stant. There's a lot to uncover in this film. It's not specifically about the act of violence that happened in 1994, but dives into the backstories of siblings that grew up with an abusive father, how their fathers behavior shaped their worlds, and what healing looks like years later as adults. We speak with Justin about how he ended up telling this story, how redemption is at the heart of this film and what he learned from Maile and Shane's relationship, Justin's music career, his friend Michelle Kwan (who is a part of this documentary), the buttoned up skating world, and more. Thanks so much to Justin for his time and making a film about healing family trauma. --My Hero the Hitman is streaming now on Apple, Vudu, Roku, and anywhere you stream movies.
