Leaving Neverland
"An appalling story of predatory child sexual abuse, told in such painful detail and at such heroic length that it's impossible to dismiss. But what the series also makes clear, beyond almost everything else, is the power of willful blindness." says John Andreson of The Wall Street Journal. Part 2 of 2: "Leaving Neverland" is a two-part documentary exploring the separate but parallel experiences of two young boys, James Safechuck, at age 10, and Wade Robson, at age 7, both of whom were befriended by Michael Jackson. Through gut-wrenching interviews with Safechuck, now 40, and Robson, now 36, as well as their mothers, wives and siblings, the film crafts a portrait of sustained abuse, exploring the complicated feelings that led both men to confront their experiences after both had a young son of his own.
