‘Allen V. Farrow’ Trailer: HBO’s New Docuseries Tackles The Woody Allen Sexual Abuse Scandal

The Woody Allen sexual abuse scandal has followed the filmmaker for decades now. While Allen still claims he has been vindicated in court, his accusers still believe he’s guilty of abuse of one of Mia Farrow’s children when she was only a child. It’s a fight that has been raging for years and is about to be thrust back into the spotlight courtesy of a new HBO documentary, “Allen v. Farrow.”

As seen in the trailer for “Allen v. Farrow,” HBO is about to release a four-part series that tackles the entire history of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow’s relationship and how it led to accusations of sexual abuse. Told primarily from the side of the Farrow family, the docuseries uses a lot of home video footage and first-hand accounts from those involved to tell the story of how Woody Allen and Mia Farrow began their relationship, the accusations that followed, and the fallout that included Farrow being accused of coaching her young daughter to lie about the allegations.

Of course, whenever these sorts of documentaries are released, there’s going to be a lot of discussion about what might happen in the courts. However, at this point, it’s unlikely that Allen could be really charged with anything unless it’s something earth-shattering and brand-new. Instead, this documentary likely has the intended effect of bringing the full story of what happened to light and informing audiences about what actually happened behind closed doors.

As for any fallout from this documentary, it’s hard to say what might happen. Allen has already been blacklisted from Hollywood and has primarily been working in Europe over the past couple of years. His most recent film, “Rifkin’s Festival,” was shown at festivals last year but has yet to secure any distribution in the US. So, for those hoping that Allen would be completely blacklisted from making films in the future, that seems unlikely, considering he seems to have plenty of supporters that will still work with him.

“Allen v. Farrow” is set to debut on HBO on February 21. You can watch the full trailer for “Allen v. Farrow” below:
