## Caption

Dan Reed was a documentary filmmaker who specialized in terrorism and war when he detoured into very different terrain, explosive in other ways entirely: the accusations of child sexual abuse that have followed #MichaelJackson since 1993.⁠
⁠
The result of that was #LeavingNeverland, which premiered on HBO in 2019. The harrowing four-hour documentary seemed poised to permanently reshape Jackson's legacy. Wade Robson and James Safechuck's highly detailed accounts of childhood abuse at Jackson's hands were, to many viewers, impossible to forget. The film won an Emmy, with the Jackson Estate deriding the decision to honor "a complete fiction" that is "completely one-sided."⁠
⁠
But seven years later, Jackson's streaming numbers are up, 'MJ the Musical' is a Broadway juggernaut, and Lionsgate's #MichaelMovie — a biopic helmed by 'Training Day' director Antoine Fuqua and starring #JaafarJackson, Jackson's own nephew, as the pop superstar — is tracking to be one of the year’s biggest box-office hits.⁠
