“It really is an amazing story, and [filmmaker Marina] Zenovich does it justice.” - Hollywood Reporter

Many people know filmmaker Roman Polanski left the USA 30 years ago following a trial for sexual misconduct with a minor. What most people don't know are the actual circumstances surrounding the case. Marina Zenovich's documentary sheds new light on Polanski's decision to flee the country, and illuminates the surprising tale of a legal system gone haywire. Was Polanski guilty, or was it a case of a trial judge seeking personal notoriety?

Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired develops a case for a clear miscarriage of justice. But far from being an apologia for Polanski, the film is simply trying to bring comprehension and clarity to events long clouded by myths and presumptions.” - Sundance Film Festival
