Description: The OjaiDocs' Summer Documentary Film Series presents Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired by filmmaker Marina Zenovich.
Roman Polanski is certainly admired and respected as one of the world’s great film directors. But his reputation has been forever tarnished by his public conviction for having unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor some 30 years ago and his subsequent flight from the United States to avoid going to jail. In her riveting reopening of this controversial and, as it turns out, very complex case, Zenovich fashions a perceptive and intelligent exploration of what really happened those many years ago and casts a very different light on Polanski’s decision as well as the workings of the legal system.
