Marina Zenovich does a superb job at tackling the now well known case of Polanski's sexual involvement with a minor which led to him fleeing America. Prior media has portrayed it more as him not wanting to serve time but this documentary unearths the real reason. The judge presiding over the case (who is now deceased) was more concerned about his public image and association with celebrity than doing his job properly. The two lawyers working for either side divulge how elements of the trial and sentencing were simply for show. With the recent ongoing fight from Polanski to have his name cleared and this documentary being cited within the case it is now more than simply a look at the past of one of our most revered filmmakers.
