On May 15, 2011, Dominique Strauss-Kahn was arrested in New York, accused of raping a housekeeper at the Sofitel hotel. At the time, he was the head of the IMF and a frontrunner in the presidential race, at the pinnacle of an unblemished political career. A few months later, another scandal broke, the Carlton Affair in Lille, which definitively ended his political career.
This four-part documentary series chronicles the extraordinary life of DSK and examines all the elements of these cases, shrouded in many uncertainties. It relies on archival footage and exclusive testimonies, including those of investigators, alleged victims, and close associates of DSK.
Room 2806: The DSK Affair also highlights the impact of these cases on French society. By speaking out against DSK, his accusers initiated the #MeToo movement and helped liberate women’s voices.
