S1, E1: Behind The Jackson 5, the family act that launched Michael to fame, was a household described by insiders as driven by fear as much as by talent. An offer of a film role helps Michael gain independence from his controlling father, causing tensions and resentments within the family. Then, in 1982, Michael releases his masterpiece 'Thriller', catapulting him to megastardom, but the pressures of fame begin to weigh heavily.
