HBO has revealed the trailer for controversial Michael Jackson documentary “Leaving Neverland”.
“Leaving Neverland” is a two-part documentary exploring the separate but parallel experiences of two young boys, James Safechuck, at age ten, and Wade Robson, at age seven, both of whom were befriended by Michael Jackson. Through gut-wrenching interviews with Safechuck, now 40, and Robson, now 36, as well as their mothers, wives and siblings, the film crafts a portrait of sustained abuse, exploring the complicated feelings that led both men to confront their experiences after both had a young son of his own. Directed by Dan Reed.
In the ’90s, Jackson was in the centre of a major sex scandal amid accusations he was sexually abusing children. Despite being found not guilty in the court of law, the allegations would follow Jackson around until his death in 2009. Leaving Neverland sheds new light on the accusations against Jackson with new information from two accusers.
“Leaving Neverland” will premiere its first part on HBO on Sunday, March 3. The second part will then follow on Monday, March 4. Together, the documentary will run four hours long.
