What is "Leaving Neverland"?
"" Leaving Neverland "" is a documentary based on Wade Robson and James Safechuck interviews, who claim that Michael Jackson has sexually abused with them when they were children. The documentary is a co-production by British Channel 4 Channel and Home Box Office (HBO). For the first time, it appeared at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2019.
Who is Wade Robson and James Safechuck?
Wade is a 36-year-old dancer and choreographer from Australia. In childhood, he appeared in the song "Black or White", "Jam" and "Heal the World". In "Leaving Neverland" he describes Jackson's home as a trap, while the 41-year-old Safechuck says that years ago, in Neverland, Michael hosted a celebration as a wedding ceremony and forced the toddler to vow that they " each other". Both participated in an ad for Pepsi when they were children. They filed a lawsuit against the singer in 2015 seeking £ 1.2 billion in indemnity, but the court ruled that "the singer's wealth could not be held accountable for their charges."
What is the meaning of Neverland?
Neverland Valley Ranch, recently named Sycamore Valley Ranch, is Michael's home in Santa Barbara County, California. It was called Neverland since the singer was inspired in 1988 by the legendary island of Peter Pan (island Kurrkund).
How did the fans react?
The singer's multiple fans have launched a campaign under the hashtag #StopLeavingNeverland and demanded that the documentary be removed. There have been many parents who have reacted sharply by asking, "Who is the parent who would leave the child alone with a stranger, be it famous or not ?!
What do the family say?
Families and representatives of the late singer have denied the charges.
Will this affect the figure of King of Pop?
Of course such facts are shocking, though experts say that because Michael is not alive, he can not protect himself, hardly the data of people who say they are abused to be trusted by everyone.
How can we see it?
Only in HBO if you live in America or have a US IP (IP term used in computing with the meaning of a computer / internet connection number / computer address). Of course there are some other ways (but we did not say anything).
Will it be broadcast on Netflix?
Channel 4 has exclusive rights in the UK and no documentary plan is being cast on Netflix. At least not for the moment.
