Shot mostly in Farrow’s Connecticut home, where she lives with her biological and adopted children, the movie talks about Dylan’s damning confession as a child. This includes the child saying she was inappropriately touched by Allen, but in 1992, when she had grown up, the prosecutor refused to take up her case although he felt that there was something which Allen was hiding.

As a child, one can understand how terrified she must have been about his behaviour. PHOTOGALLERY Early on, the documentary runs through the hunky-dory Allen-Farrow relationship. They were never married but were together, though living in separate homes, for a long time. Her compulsive need to take care of children is highlighted; she has had 14, some biological, some adopted. Some did not survive, and her marriage to Frank Sinatra when she was 21 is told in passing.
