Catch Pacino as scandal-gripped football coach

 The HBO original film “Paterno” starring Al Pacino premieres on April 8. It premieres at the same time as in the United States, at 8am, with a same-day encore at 9pm, again exclusively on HBO. 
The series will also be streaming on HBO Go via AIS Play and AIS Playbox.
Starring Oscar winner Al Pacino in the title role, the drama centres on Pennsylvania’s Joe Paterno in the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal. 
Paterno is an American college football player, athletic director and coach. He was the head coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions from 1966 to 2011. 
After becoming the most successful coach in college football history, Paterno’s legacy is challenged and he is forced to face questions of institutional failure in regard to the victims.
Barry Levinson (“Rain Man”) directs from a script by Debora Cahn (“Grey’s Anatomy”, “Vinyl”) and John C Richards (“Sahara”). The film also stars Riley Keough (“Mad Max: Fury Road”), Kathy Baker, Greg Grunberg, Annie Parisse and Larry Mitchell (“Brawl in Cell Block 99”).
