In fact, the film is entirely framed around the victims and their families knowing, revering, supporting and even loving Michael Jackson - a love they continue to wrestle with till this day. It’s intimate, and at times even terrifying, but it’s vital in an era where re-orienting our perspective on stars and celebrities (and reckoning with the hurt they’ve caused, despite our adoration for them) has become increasingly necessary. It isn’t concerned with legal evidence, nor should it be rather than a journalistic document, Leaving Neverland functions wholly as a series of first-hand accounts of abuse and its ripple-effects, carried over into adulthood. The film covers all this ground in detail, but it isn’t interested in convincing those who ask these questions in bad faith.
