Par Mulder, Paris, 15 janvier 2018

Our online media was present today to the I, Tonya Paris UGC Normandie Premiere. The director Craig Gillespie and the main actress Margot Robbie had presented this movie. It was a pure magic moment that we purpose to live again with you on our video :

Synopsis:
In the mid-1970s in Portland, Oregon, four year-old Tonya Harding is forced to ice skate by her mother, LaVona Golden, through cruelty and neglect. As Tonya grows up, her mother takes her out of school to focus exclusively on her athletic career, and she trains extensively under the tutelage of coach Diane Rawlinson. Into her adulthood, Tonya rapidly becomes one of the best figure skaters in the United States. She finally asserts her independence by marrying boyfriend Jeff Gillooly. Gillooly intermittently beats her and she has to contend with biases against her in the figure skating community for being deemed white trash. She competes in the 1992 Winter Olympics, but comes in a disappointing fourth place and returns to Portland to work as a waitress. She attempts a comeback and, in order to assist, Gillooly's friend Shawn Eckhardt takes it upon himself to arrange an attack on Harding's rival Nancy Kerrigan which rapidly escalates into the Federal Bureau of Investigation arresting everyone around her for conspiracy. She is still allowed to compete in the 1994 Winter Olympics, but comes in eighth place. She ends up on trial afterward for her silence about the Kerrigan attack and part of her sentence involves being barred from competitive figure skating for life. She resorts to foxy boxing and becoming a landscaper. Several years after her career is over, she marries again and has a child. On-screen text declares that she wants everyone to know that she is a good mother. Contemporary interviews were recorded for the film but then reenacted by the performers as a framing sequence.
