Among the most buzzed about projects at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival was Dan Reed’s four hour Michael Jackson exposé Leaving Neverland, which uses two explosive interviews from Wade Robson and James Safechuck in order to uncover some of the darkest secrets hidden behind the gates of the Neverland Ranch. You can now watch the first trailer here…
Co-produced by Channel 4 and HBO, the documentary prompted some of the most incendiary reactions of the festival, as well as a number of protests from fans of the late pop star. Chronicling the alleged abuse of Robson and Safechuck when they were seven and ten years old, Reed’s film promises to be a powerful examination of the shadow cast by one the world’s biggest stars.
Leaving Neverland will air on Channel 4 over two nights, March 6 and March 7, at 9pm GMT.
