Leaving Neverland‘s director Dan Reed launched his searing documentary in 2019, by which he interviewed at size two males – Wade Robson and James Safechuck – each of whom had been invited as kids to stick with Jackson at his California ranch, and to accompany him on tour.

In the UK’s Guardian, Reed writes:
“No one is talking about “cancelling” this film, which can glorify a person who raped kids.
“What the entire absence of shock accompanying the announcement of this film tells us is that Jackson’s seduction continues to be a residing pressure, working from past the grave. It appears that the press, his followers and the huge older demographic who grew up loving Jackson are prepared to put aside his unhealthy relationship with kids and simply associate with the music.
