Liz Clarke
Washington Post sportswriter

“The sexual and emotional abuse of athletes is a difficult, painful topic— one many would prefer to avoid. [But in] Broken Trust, Jill Yesko offers an entry point and invaluable educational tool for parents, gym owners, school administrators, and athletes themselves. Couched in a love of sports, the film is honest, illuminating and in no way exploitative. I commend it highly to all who care about athletes’ well-being.”

Dr. Elena Ruíz

Principal Researcher for the #MeToo movement and Associate Professor of Philosophy at Michigan State University

"A keen and insightful look into the systemic failures that enable athlete sexual abuse in coaching culture. Broken Trust continues the work of holding individuals and institutions accountable for cultures of silence in sport. A must-watch for anyone interested in institutional culture and how administrative violence enables sexual violence in the world of sport."

David Lee
Director of Prevention, RALIANCE

"Broken Trust is an honest depiction of survivors’ experiences and illuminates how sexual violence takes place within sports. This film begins necessary conversations on how we can prevent sexual violence in sports.”

Dr. W. Scott Lewis

Co-founder of the US Center for Safe Sport

"The Codes of Gender will be of interest to all who question the visual images of what is deemed natural and normal."

"As a co-founder for the US Center for Safe Sport, a consultant to the Obama-Biden Task Force on sexual assault, and co-founder of the Association of Title IX Administrators, I can say that Broken Trust is a must see for every parent and athlete in sports, regardless of age. It is exactly what we need to acknowledge has happened in sport and went ignored for far too long. This is why the US CSS exists today, 40 years too late."
