Allen, who covered his face in a blue neck warmer amid the COVID-19 pandemic, kept his head bowed as he left his home.

It was directed by On the Record directors Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering, and was filmed in secret for three years.

It will feature an unreleased 1992 video taken by Mia of a then-seven-year-old Dylan describing how Allen allegedly “ touched his private parts. ”

In the video, shot by Mia as evidence of the incident, Dylan alleges that the Oscar-winning director told him, “ Don’t move, I have to do this, ” as he touched her in the attic of family campaign.

“I didn’t want him to do it, mom,” she heard her mother recount the incident. “I didn’t like it.

It will also feature tapes Mia secretly made of her phone calls with Allen, including one in which she tells him that Dylan is “ not doing well ” after the alleged incident.

The documentary, which uses excerpts from Allen’s 2020 memoir to contrast the allegations, is set to reignite one of the most bitter and public celebrity family scandals raging in the past 30 years. .

Mia, 76, who has 14 children – four of whom are her biological children – has publicly accused the principal of sexually assaulting Dylan as a child.

Mia’s separation from Allen and the allegations of sexual abuse against him in 1992 came after she discovered explicit photos of her daughter, Soon-Yi, whom she adopted with her ex-husband Andre Previn in 1977, at the Allen’s home.

Allen has always firmly maintained his innocence, claiming that Dylan fabricated the abuse allegations or that she was coached by Mia who he said was jealous of his relationship with Soon-Yi.

Mia and Allen had been together since 1979. This was around the time her career took off thanks to the hit films Annie Hall and Manhattan, and after she became a top-notch actress after her role in Rosemary’s Baby.

That all changed 13 years later, when Allen, then 55, and Soon-Yi, then 21, were caught having an affair, which the show says has been going on since she was in high school.

In the documentary, Dylan recalls how Mia told him and her brother Ronan Farrow that “Daddy took nude pics of Soon-Yi.”

“And that was kind of the first time I was like, ‘Oh… it’s not just me,’ Dylan said.

The documentary claims that testimony from Allen’s doorman during the couple’s custody battle showed Soon-Yi visiting her at her home when she was in high school and during her lunch breaks.

Allen’s maid also talked about cleaning the condoms and making the bed after Soon-Yi leaves.

Soon-Yi would later marry Allen in 1997 and remain with him to this day despite the 34-year age gap.

Mia found the Soon-Yi photos in January 1992, but she couldn’t completely cut Allen from her life because she was in conflict and loved her and because he had adopted her and her brother. Moses, she says on the show.

In video shot by adoptive mother Mia Farrow as proof of the incident, seven-year-old Dylan claims the Oscar-winning director told her, ‘Don’t move, I have to do this,’ as he touched her in the attic of the family’s country house.

“I didn’t want him to do it, mom,” she heard her mother recount the incident. “I didn’t like it.

In an uncomfortable passage from Allen’s book, he says that despite being old enough to be Previn’s father, when they first met she was “ ready to mature superbly if only someone would show him some love. ”

He says that in the early days of their relationship, “ lust reigned supreme and we couldn’t keep each other’s hands. ”

Responding to the allegations about Dylan, he wrote: “I never put my finger on Dylan, I never did anything to him that could even be misinterpreted as abuse; it was a total fabrication from start to finish, every subatomic particle of it ”.

It took years before Hollywood finally started to pay attention and Allen was effectively blacklisted and no producer picked up his 2019 romantic comedy A Rainy Day in New York City, though she did. grossed $ 22 million overseas.

While Allen was shunned, Soon-Yi broke her decades-long silence to label Mia a “ mean and mean person ” and claimed that she had abused her as a child.

Speaking to New York magazine, she claimed that Mia used to slap her face, spank her with a hairbrush and threaten to send her to a mental asylum.

But Soon-Yi also admitted that marrying Allen was a “ huge betrayal and there was ‘no justification’ for it.

Painting Allen like the real victim, she said: ‘What happened to Woody is so upsetting, so unfair.

‘[Mia] took advantage of the MeToo movement and paraded Dylan as a victim. And a whole new generation is hearing about it when they shouldn’t ”.
