This powerful film examines the rise and fall of the 1980s America's most popular TV star Bill Cosby

In the 1980s, The Cosby Show made Bill Cosby America's most popular TV star. But did a sinister side lurk behind his cosy image as America’s favourite dad?

This powerful film, showing to coincide with Cosby's criminal trial for sexual assault, charts his fall from grace, and features moving interviews with some of the women claiming Cosby drugged and raped them, in allegations going back to the 1960s.
