This doc will be the 'Free Britney' of MJ. My aim is to take the viewer from the house of 'MJ' they have been taken to over the years, and open the door to show them how they got there.

This film is a huge undertaking and I totally love it. The story is a human story of how we accept people we don't understand. Something I think everyone can maybe learn from in some way. The film has grown from a single feature to a 3-part series. I'm about 40% done, CONT'

Dan Reed compared interviewing the Jackson's family for LN, 'is like interviewing people who thought Ted Bundy was a great guy'. That's the equivalent of making a 4 hour film about 2 ppl accusing a random person of an attack that there is no evidence of, CONTINUED #TrialByMediaMJ

Interesting to see the phrase 'trial by media' banded about when dealing with current issues. Apparently, we should be objective when it suits 'us'. A rush to judgment of people we aren't supposed to like is the test of our own values. #TrialByMediaMJ

If the media can dehumanize an icon in such a way they did, what does that mean about our core values in relation to the current climate we're in today. 'Wokeness' seems to be pretty much asleep at this point. #TrialByMediaMJ

Exactly the kind of issues I'll be touching on in Trial By Media: The MJ Story DOC'. gofundme.com/f/themjstorydoc
In June 1992, a full page close-up picture of his face, sweating under spotlights, was accompanied by the headline: "This is the real Michael Jackson".
The newspaper described him as a "scarred phantom" with a hole in his nose, one cheek higher than the other and a sagging chin.

those 2 accusers claim they survived the ordeal only because they were replaced by 2 others. The 2 others say nothing happened to them and they saw nothing happen to the 2 original accusers. Then you take into account the yrs of litigation of the original 2 ppl for $100s millions

I have faith, people are open to the truth as long as it's compelling and relatable. MJ's story is relevant now even more with the climate we're in. He's just overlooked because of a double standard, which can be corrected.
