The film tells the story of skater Tonya Harding and her rivalry against Nancy Kerrigan, who was not only part of her team, but also her toughest rival. In January 1994, Tonya’s ex-husband attacked Nancy, and although Tonya denied any involvement in the aggression, she was still convicted for covering up for her husband and bodyguard. She was also banned from skating, which put an end to her promising career. The film favors Tonya’s testimony, but also presents opposite opinions through other characters. This way, the movie gives the viewer the power to choose which side to take.
