Compelling documentary series exploring the Jackson’s 2005 trial through exclusive access to hours of unseen archive footage, and interviews with contributors who have never spoken before
4 x 60'
With unseen footage, unheard audio tapes of Michael Jackson and exclusive interviews, this four-part series tells the incredible, inside story of how the King of Pop was put on trial in 2005 for the alleged sexual molestation of a young boy.
Featuring dramatic, new revelations about Michael Jackson’s relationship with the boy at the centre of the allegations, Gavin Arvizo, the series hears from Jackson’s inner circle who tried to protect him, the police officers who investigated the allegations of child abuse, and the lawyers who prosecuted and defended him.
Drawing on this rich archive and vivid testimony, the series steps beyond the media circus of “the trial of the century” to ask profound questions about fame, race, and the American justice system.
