A documentary will soon be broadcast in the USA, which deals, among other things, with allegations of abuse against Woody Allen.

A new HBO documentary is about the abuse allegations against Woody Allen (85). According to media reports, "Allen v. Farrow" investigates "the story behind the allegations against Allen" made by the then seven-year-old adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow (35). The documentary, the first episode of which will be broadcast on February 21, also wants to report on the custody battle between Allen and Mia Farrow (75) and the disclosure of Allen's relationship with Farrow's adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn (50).

"Who could have believed Woody Allen?" Asks Mia Farrow in a trailer. "I could not believe it." 35-year-old Dylan Farrow can also be heard in it: "No matter what you think you know, it's only the tip of the iceberg." The four-part series, which is said to have been shot in secret, is said to contain new interviews with Mia, Dylan and Ronan Farrow, 33, the son of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow, and with prosecutor Frank Maco. It also allegedly shows never-before-released footage from Mia Farrow and Allen's life together before they split in 1992.

Woody Allen has always denied allegations

Woody Allen married Soon-Yi Previn in 1997 and the couple have two daughters. The director and his wife were not involved in the documentary, according to "People". At the end of 2017, Dylan Farrow went public again with the allegations against Allen. He has always denied the allegations that first came up during his breakup with Mia Farrow. At that time, the allegations were not prosecuted for lack of evidence, but the responsible public prosecutor criticized the experts' approach as inadequate.
