Starting December 7, Netflix unveils 'Room 2806', a compelling documentary series exploring the DSK affair. Watch the trailer for this highly anticipated release.
In May 2011, global attention fixated on New York as Dominique Strauss-Kahn, then IMF Managing Director and potential French presidential candidate, faced sexual assault charges. Nafissatou Diallo, a Sofitel hotel maid, accused him of rape.
Nearly a decade later, the 'DSK affair' remains etched in memory. For a refresher, Netflix delivers four in-depth episodes starting December 7, dissecting this landmark legal saga.
Filmed from April 2019 to October 2020, this series delves into four major court cases involving Strauss-Kahn, including pre-Diallo incidents and the high-profile Carlton de Lille pimping allegations.
Featuring exclusive testimonies and extensive archival footage, the documentary highlights insights from key figures—most notably Nafissatou Diallo herself. Producer Philippe Levasseur, Managing Director of Capa Presse, shared with HuffPost:
Dominique Strauss-Kahn declined to participate, as did his then-wife Anne Sinclair. French politicians like Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande also turned down interview requests.
