An American documentary television miniseries directed by award-winning investigative filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering, “Allen v. Farrow” explores an allegation of sexual abuse made against Woody Allen in 1992. The show premiered on Sunday, February 21, 2021, at 9 P.M ET on HBO.
The four-part documentary series ‘Allen v. Farrow’ goes behind the years of sensational headlines to reveal the private story of one of Hollywood’s most notorious and public scandals: the accusation of sexual abuse against Woody Allen involving Dylan, his then 7-year-old daughter with Mia Farrow; their subsequent custody trial; the revelation of Allen’s relationship with Farrow’s daughter, Soon-Yi; and the controversial aftermath in the years that followed.
Along with new investigative work — pieced together via intimate home movie footage, court documents, police evidence, revelatory videotapes, and never-before-heard audio tapes — the series includes exclusive interviews on the subject with Mia Farrow, Dylan Farrow, Ronan Farrow, family friend Carly Simon, prosecutor Frank Maco, relatives, investigators, and experts.
Allen v. Farrow also examines the effects of trauma on a family and features prominent cultural voices exploring Allen’s body of work in a broader context and reflecting on how public revelations about the personal lives of artists can lead to re-evaluations of their work.
