Zimmer 2806: Die Anschuldigung

A very good and watchable series on the sexual assault and the aftermath. And a good airing of the freedom that rich and powerful people have, to do what they like, with little or no consequence.

The subject matter is sexual in nature and there is a good deal of talk about this sexual assault and the sexual habits of Strauss - Kahn and others. Not a show for children and not for someone who doesn't want to hear about this issue.

I had never heard of DSK but in actual fact he's all we hear about anymore... another garden variety privileged sexual sociopath not held accountable for a single thing. This was a nice, measured look at the world around him, his victims, his investigators and the aftermath. Depressing but interesting.

I like it a lot , I watch it all, so that says something.

Very entertaining and not boring at all, BUT it's again very little about the victim and very much about the BIG MAN.

Reasonable doubt is there, BUT still .. powerful politicians with money can do what they want..?

A very bad message for the victims of sexual assault.

Well I reckon some would have liked that. And by some I obviously mean DSK and whoever roots for him. I had heard about this scandal when it happened, but I didn't pay too much attention to it to be honest. Now I get the full picture - and not just about what (allegedly) happened, but also a bit of a character description when it comes to Mr. Kahn and his accuser(s).

It may seem easy to dismiss certain things and some may also like to try to see things from different perspectives. For better or worse the docu series does give you both sides and more. It gives you reason to doubt certain things and it certainly makes you think for yourself. And while you think ill or good of DSK generally speaking, the movie gives you a different side. Not all is black or white (no pun intended) - there are grey areas too to be explored.

I personally think it is obvious what happened, but you may feel differently. It seems like someone tries to turn back the hands of time - or finally live what he missed out on when he was young. Which is all fine and dandy, as long as you don't assault or bother others

The documentary is certainly well made and comprehensive but it does not add much the facts already known. The case was very muddy 10 years ago and still is: the victim was a weak witness (as in most of these cases) and the powerful forces deployed by the defendant made it even muddier. So the acquittal was - and is - morally outrageous but legally inevitable. As for the possible plot behind the event there was and still there is no evidence, not even circumstantial, that anything like that had actually occurred. Which does not mean it didn't, just that one, if willing to go down that path, must embark into conspiracy theories. But there is one fact that was and still is incontrovertible: DSK was unfit for office, wether in business or in politics, and this affair helped take him down. So it was a good thing.
