Michael Jackson a világ egyik leghíresebb ikonja: popsztár, humanitárius és bálvány egy személyben. Amikor 1993-ban fiatal fiúk molesztálásával vádolták meg, rajongói képtelenek voltak elhinni, hogy a pop királya bűnös lehet. A külön szálon futó, de egymásra rímelő történetből kiderül, Jackson hogyan barátkozott össze a fiúkkal, akiket meghívott az egyedülálló és csodálatos világába. A már felnőtt férfiak mesélnek arról, hogyan használta ki őket szexuálisan, hogyan alakult későbbi kapcsolatuk. (HBO Europe)

Michael Jackson has always been some kind of a weirdo for me but he made such a good music that he remains an intriguing character for many to this day. For many people he is still a popular topic for a different reason than his fans would probably like. The documentary called Leaving Neverland, made by HBO (and therefore not a fiction), introduces Michael’s darker side that everybody knows about but it has never been talked about so explicitly. Hearing it from the people he molested is a lot to take in. Four hours is a long footage for a documentary but it is worth it. I will not change my mind about his music but I have definitely changed my mind about him as a person...

As a report on a part of Michael Jackson's private and public life, Leaving Neverland is obviously an important piece of work. I'm glad the former victims spoke up and were heard, especially if they had to relive their unequal relationship with Jackson over and over again and only collapsed after their own children were the same age as they were when Jackson first welcomed them to Neverland. The length and exclusive HBO distribution are problematic. The downside is the attempt to retroactively censor the pop culture of which Jackson was a part for so many years.
