Rolf Harris: Hiding in Plain Sight: Premiere (ITVX Thursday 18 May 2023)
Rolf Harris: Hiding in Plain Sight: Premiere airs Thursday 18 May 2023 on ITVX.
In this two-part documentary, rare archive and exclusive testimony from those closest to the trial reveal the extraordinary truth behind the rise and fall of former national treasure Rolf Harris.
Harris was trusted and adored as “the nation’s favourite uncle,” but he abused young girls and women for years behind closed doors, betraying his family and the British public who had grown up with him.
Harris’ accusers, including those who have waived their right to anonymity, have spoken out more than a decade after his arrest to detail the effects his alleged assaults had on them and the circumstances that led them to testify against him in court.
The films reveal the unseen evidence that led to Harris’ downfall and feature exclusive new testimony detailing Harris’ decades-long grooming of his daughter Bindi’s childhood friend beginning when she was 13 years old.
Now that Harris has returned home and new allegations of abuse have surfaced in Australia, viewers of the series are left with pressing questions about how the criminal justice system handles cases involving sexual abuse in the past. Do those who accused him feel they were vindicated?
Produced by Optomen Television in association with ITVX.
