SYNOPSIS: Breach of Trust explores the University of Southern California's institutional cover-up involving the sexual misconduct of former full-time gynecologist George Tyndall. The story is anchored by the survivors who, after being wronged by the university, continue their fight for institutional change. Joining them are Matt Hamilton, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter who guides us through this three decades-old scandal, as well as Cindy Gilbert, a nurse who makes her first on-camera appearance to recount the years she spent trying to report Tyndall, and the hostility and retaliation she experienced for doing so.
