In the series, Mia Farrow detailed Woody Allen’s alleged affair with her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn. The documentary featured videos of a then 7-year-old Dylan Farrow describing sexual abuse, allegedly by Allen.
about the series, which re-examines Dylan Farrow’s sexual abuse allegations against her former adopted father, Woody Allen, in harrowing detail. Allen recently issued a statement about the series through a spokesperson, calling
Allen v. Farrow a “hatchet job,” and claimed that he was given just “days” to respond to an interview request that was made two months before
Allen v. Farrow premiered. In response, Ziering refuted the idea that Allen’s voice was not heard, and extended an open invitation should Allen actually want to be interviewed, adding that HBO would probably do another episode of the series:
His perspective, his first-person testimony is included throughout the series. We have his own voice reading, his own writing, his press conferences in his words, his court testimony. His side is represented. And he’s welcome to do an interview [with us]. Standing offer. We’re sure that HBO would do a fifth episode. We’re here.

Dick: That doesn’t just apply to people’s love of artists. It applies to the much bigger issue of incest, how the entire society does it. The feedback we’ve been getting is that this is not just a film about Woody Allen and the family, even though it focuses on it a lot. It’s also about how society looks at incest. This is the most high-profile incest case of the last 50 years. There’s a narrative that has come out of that I think a lot of people have just unconsciously taken in. So not only are we trying to open up this issue and have people look directly at it but also to understand that they have been under the sway of this narrative around incest in general, not even specifically in this case. We want people to reexamine that.
