Leaving Neverland

[TheSkipper 𝕏 TheSkipperNCFC]

Child abuse is a very, very serious thing but I have been compelled to watch the recently released "Leaving Neverland" documentary and I'm taken back. What does other PON members think?

i dont think the documentary really does anything, it seems about money and attention. rather than issues. i would cringe if they did a documentary interviewing people abused by jimmy saville or the aussie artist whos name i forget.

This is something that I wished the UK media would focus less on.

I’ve not watched it but I’ve heard about the program and what it contains. The videos going round on social media about this programme is almost silly. Its a subject that needs to be treated correctly because it’s people’s life they are showing and getting involved in. I don’t Think I’ll watch the program though

I've watched the first part, I find it to be misleading and the more research you do - the more it all becomes quite dubious.

I grew up believing the allegations, I disliked Michael's music for this reason, but after his death, I watched many documentaries which revealed a different side. I find the documentary to be something that skirts around the issue, however, openly mentions disturbing and graphical events. If it's true, I feel this is the wrong way to go about things and I don't think it would be the normal way to handle it.

It's very one sided, the emotion it tries to give is typical of something that doesn't have evidence too.

I haven't seen it, I can't comment as such on the nature of the documentary. I do feel Michael Jackson was a very strange character who's unhealthy relationship with the media never really helped him.

I would add it's strange for the allegations to have been made via this way though.

I think they're all very strange people.

I haven’t watched this and still don’t plan to as Micheal isn’t here to defend himself and since it was broadcast there has been things said to contravene what the program said.
