Mia Farrow recounts her storied relationship with Woody Allen, once a beloved father figure to her seven children. While their adopted daughter Dylan chronicles a childhood idyllic in many ways, she also speaks to the escalating discomfort she felt under the intensity of Woody's attention, which was a growing concern for Mia and her inner circle.
As Farrow and Allen ascend the ranks as a Hollywood power couple, their close-knit family is torn apart by a startling revelation about Woody's relationship with Mia's daughter Soon-Yi. Dylan details the abuse allegations that ignited decades of backlash and changed her life forever. The broader context of Allen's body of work is explored.
While Mia tries to shield seven-year-old Dylan from the trauma of repeated questioning, Allen’s legal and PR teams drive a narrative that Mia is a scorned woman and unfit mother who brainwashed her children. Two separate 1992 investigations in New York and Connecticut are reexamined in light of never-before-made-public court documents, police evidence, and revelatory videotape.
Dylan and the family attempt to heal after a bitter 1993 custody battle. Decades later, while Woody continues to receive accolades in Hollywood, the momentum of the #MeToo movement – coupled with Ronan Farrow’s public support – emboldens Dylan to go public with her story for the first time.
