Roman PolanskiRoman Polanski survived the murders of his wife and unborn son to continue his career as one of cinema's most celebrated directors. Yet in 1977, his reputation in America was derailed by a sordid Hollywood scandal involving a 13-year-old girl – and a bizarre legal case presided over by a judge whose actions led Polanski to flee America. This Sundance Award-winning documentary reopens a complex and controversial case 30 years later – challenging many of the myths which have built up around it.

Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired features exclusive interviews with many of the key players including Polanski's now-grown victim, Samantha (Gailey) Geimer (who forgave the director in 1997), former Assistant DA Roger Gunson (who tried the case), and his defense attorney, Douglas Dalton, who breaks his silence of 30 years to reveal the extraordinary backstage maneuvers by Judge Laurence J. Rittenband.

Don't miss the controversial story of one Hollywood's most celebrated minds and his bizarre downfall when Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired premieres Monday, June 9 at 9 p.m.—only on HBO!
