Review of Happy Valley (2014) by John H — 31 Dec 2014

Happy Valley is a well made documentary that sets out to show how a community defined by their unwavering dedication to their All-star football team and god like couch of over 60 years--Joe Paterno--are caught up in a whirlwind of unbelievable accusations.

This documentary captures what happens when a community is divided by a dark secret that has been under everyone's nose the whole time; and how some with the power to make a difference turned a blind eye.

Happy Valley is a brutal 'must see' that will challenge your ability to withstand the horrors that are depicted and discussed.
