Allen v. Farrow and Evil by Design

Wealthy Canadian fashion designer Peter Nygard threw lavish parties in the Bahamas that were just a pretext to lure and rape women. The CBC spent years trying to land the story of his decades of sexual assaults and intimidation in four countries. The podcast "Evil by Design" tells the stories of victims, advocates, and journalists in the Nygard case.

Despite Mia Farrow's claims Woody Allen molested their adopted daughter, the filmmaker spun a narrative about false accusations that preserved his career. HBO's "Allen v. Farrow" provides in-depth interviews, court documents, and other uncovered evidence to refute that narrative and generate a re-examination of this celebrity scandal.
