Decent documentary on a fascinating man

This documentary on Roman Polanski was ok. It was mostly about Polanski's trial and most of its value comes from the fact that Polanski is a very interesting character and his story in rather compelling as well.
The downfall of this movie is the production and telling of the story. It was very blatantly a made for tv documentary that had a hackneyed 'Dateline NBC' feel to it. There seemed to be very little direction to the documentary and could more aptly be described as a mere history program. I would go to see this movie especially if Roman Polanski interests you or if you hate to miss a documentary.
It was a pretty good movie but nothing to write home about.
