Allen v. Farrow goes behind decades 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 seven-year-old daughter with Mia Farrow. Examining the shattering effects of trauma on a family, the series chronicles the former Hollywood power couple’s subsequent custody trial, the revelation of Allen’s relationship with Farrow’s daughter, Soon-Yi, and the controversial aftermath in the years that followed. Ultimately, Allen v. Farrow is a haunting depiction of the skepticism and backlash that can result from an accusation.
