Jackson is long gone, and still people want to profit from association with him, from whatever angle one chooses. I also think that Jackson through his unique position is not even worth the time understanding or whatever, as it is a circumstance unlikely to ever happen again so there is really nothing to be gained from giving him further publicity/notoriety other than generating more cash for those associated with him.

The purpose of the film is not to slander Michael Jackson, it’s presented as the experiences of two men who were victims sexual abuse as children, which happened to be at the hands of Michael Jackson. It is to bring awareness to sexual abuse of children and the warning signs of grooming. The film doesn’t present any biased negativity towards Jackson other than facts, and how the lives of the victims and their families were affected by their relationship with Jackson. People who peg this as a sensationalized money grab without having even seen it have completely got it all wrong. Watch both parts and then come to your own conclusion.
