Six years have passed since then Leaving Neverland Leave an irreplaceable impression on the legacy of Michael Jackson. The Pop King was cleared of the child abuse during his life, but something about the testimony of Wadi Robson and James Savchewk, the Emmy Prize winner, despite the constant denial of the Jackson family and those who run his commercial empire.
Leaving Neverland 2 He picks up the story in which the first movie stopped in 2019, where he recorded the Battle of Robson and Safechuck with the Jackson Estate, as they seek to hold the singer's ability to hold the singer to the abuse they claimed to have suffered. “I want my day in court,” says Robson. In this sense, Leaving Neverland It feels a sequel as if it is an introduction to the main event: next year's trial will be tested by their allegations in front of the jury. Director Dan Reed calls it a documentary “Steping Stone”. “The intention is to follow the stories to the end,” says the deadline.
Robson Valley
Leaving Neverland 2 She sticks to the theme of Robson and SafeckKk Wrestling with their past, and made more intimate by photographing Reed in their homes. There are moments of resonance where Safechuck speaks weakly about what he would tell himself the younger, and he was closely cut alongside pictures of him as he calms his child. The documentary also takes the passage of time in its lengthy efforts to secure a trial, who wears the mask in the court during the epidemic, to the lawyer for sexual assault on children Vince W.
For Red, the past six years have strengthened his belief in the Robson and Safecck version of the events. The BAFTA award -winning director did not doubt, and the duo were the victims of Jackson, but he says that grinding the legal battle confirms the validity of their story. The accusation against Robson and Safechuck have always been that they want to get out of their shocks. Red believes that the lengthy legal procedure shows that the opposite is correct.
“I wanted to make it clear how difficult, exhausted, and exhausting try to obtain justice in the court's system,” he explains. “For the people who say,” they are only money after money, “I say: Five other victims have come out after that Leaving Neverland And he paid $ 16-17 million for their life rights. If James Wadi wants to make a quick bak, then why did they not go to the estate? ”
While Red traveled with Robson and Safechuck through their legal sources, HBO is no longer along the ride After participating in the production of the original documentary. HBO Reed was informed of its decision late last year, which he described as “disappointing” because the network was a “great partner” on Leaving Neverland.
HBO refused to comment on the matter. Its decision is believed to be linked to the battle of Warner Bros. Discovery Special with Jackson Estate, which led Leaving Neverland The condition of non -reform was violated in the 1992 contract for HBO's dangerous a trip Private party. “I was not familiar with the details of this and I was not sure of what happened,” says Reed.
James Safeuck
Red does not rule out re -capture with HBO in the future Leaving Neverland The film indicates that the network has a 10 -year license for the original documentary. “We look forward to renewing our cooperation one day on this topic,” he says. Leaving Neverland 2 Instead, the first show in North America will be on real stories, a small documentary channel in Little Dot Studios Studios on YouTube, and Reed “really excited” about reaching a wide audience as possible. The documentary will be shown for the first time on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom on March 18.
One of the reasons that Red turned into YouTube is that he believes the main signs (Namecheces Netflix) has become increasingly beating in documentary stories. Instead, Reid says that the banners have sought a haven in real crime documents and a text series that adopts sex and violence. “It seems as if the flow world is more cautious [about] Difficult topics, political topics, topics that put people's teeth on the edge of the abyss and make them upset.
It is not the only way out that indicates this volatile effect. Ezra Edelman, director of the Prince's documentary chain that Netflix, says that the fans are presented “Slop” in the pursuit of sterilization to high -level topics.
Reed was wandering in the biography of Antoine Foucatua from Lyonzit from Jackson, who accused him of whitening the alleged sins of the singer. Reed, who has read a copy of the text program, says it begins with blue lights and the arrest of Jackson in Neveland, and ends with the reputation of accusations of abuse of children in Jordan Chandler against pop star. However, the story will change after the estate discovered after the shooting that it agreed with Chandler for not moving his story. “What a huge movie,” Red screams, and wonders how the film will reach the date of the October version amid the shooting.
Dan Reed
All this lets open the proposal that Leaving Neverland It may have been difficult to produce in the current climate. Red agrees, adding that there is likely to be a “reaction” from “Manosphere” as a community that swings towards “a conspiracy and misleading information. He says: “In order to tell stories that are trying to clarify complex areas of danger in our society, the road will become more harsh.” The conditions make it grateful to public service broadcasters such as Channel 4, which still has “grays and conversion” to treat taboos.
On the day of our interview, Reed received his first abusive e -mail Leaving Neverland 2 It is suspected that the worst came from Jackson Supervin when the movie is first shown. The consciences ignore Red efforts to provide the estate with a platform to refute Robson and Safeckk allegations. He shows his work in a continuation, and published an email sent by Jonathan Steinber, a lawyer for Jackson, his “begging” to appear in the documentary. Then the film is shown Steinsapir mocking Red while the lawyer enters the court. “Steel begging?” The director asks.
For Red, these moments are vital to proving the validity of his work – and thus the credibility of lending to the stories of his subjects. “This is the way we took to reach the place where I can say with confidence,” I tried to make this movie that shows both sides. “To be transparent and prove the credibility of our methods becomes completely vital if we would survive as a place that people aspire to the truth.”
