On Sunday, July 26, 2009, Diane Schuler left the campgrounds in upstate New
York where she was vacationing with her family and set off towards home on Long Island,
a drive she had made numerous times before. With her were five young children: her
son, her daughter and three nieces. Four hours later, she drove the wrong way on the
Taconic State Parkway for nearly two miles – eventually crashing into an oncoming SUV,
killing herself and seven others. One of the worst motor-vehicle accidents in New York
State history, the tragedy quickly became national news and her actions on that day, and
in the past, were thrust under a microscope in a desperate search for answers.
In the aftermath, Diane Schuler was portrayed as a reckless drunk and a mother
who cracked. But was she the monster the public made her out to be? Or the perfect
wife and mother described by so many who knew her?
Filmmaker Liz Garbus (the Oscar®-nominated “The Farm: Angola, USA”; HBO's
“Bobby Fischer Against the World”) explores this puzzling tragedy through interviews with
never-before-heard witnesses and with Diane's friends, as well as chronicling what
transpired minute-by-minute, when THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH AUNT DIANE
debuts MONDAY, JULY 25 (9:00-10:45 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO.
