Roman Polanski's life offers material for several movies - this one focuses on his statutory rape trial, particularly the "judicial" process that resulted. Some great talking heads, such as the prosecutor, defence attorney, judge's clerk, investigating cops, and the victim himself. No Polanski, though there's several of his friends, and old footage (including stuff with him and an achingly beautiful Sharon Tate).
It is sympathetic to Polanski though several of the people involved loathe him for what he did. This is the sort of movie that is liable to start a discussion/argument afterwards as to morality - maybe not a good first date film.
