The truth always comes out in the end…
Abuse of any kind is the type of ailment that people who have suffered it always have the tendency to blame themselves. Run away and hide from it. They turn to drugs and alcohol. They turn into workaholics or even sexaholics! But every once in a while a few brave souls decide to take charge of their own worlds and turn their lives around. Specially when they have families of their own and dont want to see the cycle repeated. James Safechuck and Wade Robson, i salute you… I salute you for your bravery and willingness to finally stare into the abyss and say, never again! Better late than never, because there is no statute of limitations when it comes to the truth! Abuse is abuse no matter the attempts to sugar coat it or cheasy apologetics like money hunger or fame hunting! Which is laughable at this point, because if that was what these two human beings wanted, they could have easily turned states witnesses and recieved millions when the case was won in court! It is so absolutely obvious these two are pouring their hearts out and have suffered the tortures of the damned. It only take eyes to see and hearts to hear.

Excellent Documentary
This near 4 hour documentary was compelling the entire time. So well done, my heart breaks for Jimmy and Wade. I cringe at michael jacksons neverland Ranch.

Bootleg DVD, not actual HBO release
Itâs a burned DVD with a menu and scenesâ not an actual HBO DVD release. You still get what you pay for though, you get the full movie.

Poor picture quality !!
Wow not even in HD. Picture grainy and not even full screen. Could have been done much better for the price. Wait and see if HBO releases it on dvd. Would be a better picture Iâm sure. Kinda disappointed !!

Perfect example of tabloid media rendered under manipulative document
Since the last few years, HBO has entered a phase of very manipulative and questionable content. Among them biopics or documentaries based around iconic figures of pop culture. And for all of them, some very manipulative and erroneous videos that are one-sided, inaccurate, and dishonest.With many people close to these artists denouncing these productions as lies and their content erroneous indeed. Many of them who saw their lives and statements reconstructed for sensationalistic and fictional content.And Leaving Neverland is one of them.Directed by Dan Reed, it involves two people, James Safechuck and Wade Robson, who after decades of swearing under oath and legal statements that Michael Jackson never attacked them, have out of nowhere switched their cards and now claim that Michael attacked them when they were younger. Especially when these two have been caught with various money problems and career situations in their private life. Among them, Wade Robson begging to work for the Michael Jackson show of the Cirque du Soleil, but being refused by the estate because he was not good enough for the job. While for Safechuck, he and his family are being sued for fraud by associates in their family business.Through four hours, these two and the director and their family state graphic detail upon graphic detail all of that to play with the emotions of the viewers. Never showing any proofs that confirm Michael Jackson attacked them. Even refusing to interview the other side; such as Brandi Jackson who dated Wade and reported how he cheated on her with Britney Spears and even with Prince’s wife Maytee as stated by a music executive on social medias; and also Taj Jackson who knew Wade Robson and even received phone texts from Wade begging to be at the funeral of MJ. One of the worst declarations in that doc is having Brett Barnes and Macaulay Culkin being described as Michael Jackson’s victims because they were younger than Wade when they were in fact older than him. Indeed, both have denounced the doc as lies and Brett Barnes is suing HBO right now for slander. Same thing with the Michael Jackson estate, who have asked for public arbitration so that the whole world could see all the lies exposed and for Dan Reed to be confronted for his behaviour.For when the hit piece was shown, millions worldwide saw the manipulative imagery, content and music in this piece, and many audience members (non-fans and detractors) did their research away from UK tabloids and they saw how bogus Leaving Neverland was; alongside all the other rag medias who attacked MJ for years and they became fans and defenders of the singer. And if you go on Youtube, the number of fans of Michael Jackson went from 13 millions to 20 millions. Which shows how these attacks on Michael have been a massive flop as sheep celebs and blue ticks promoted Leaving Neverland, but backed off when the lies were exposed.For as revealed weeks after the doc’s released, over 60 lies were exposed to a point that the director had to remove them from his doc. Among them an allegation that Michael had attacked James Safechuck in a train station that did not exist at the time of the assault period James claimed to be attacked by Michael.As for the content, do note that many times the people in it are laughing as they recount very traumatic incidents; which rose many eyebrows among victims of abuse who saw the doc and said that no victims of assault would laugh while recounting such traumatic events.Worldwide this doc was shown, and it remains a flop worldwide. In every country, the audience numbers were catastrophic. Some countries like Russia and Korea and Taiwan never showed it on their airwaves. And on French TV, Dan Reed was confronted for his lies by various experts about the Michael Jackson situation and he embarrassed himself there.Overall, this doc is not an informative piece, it is a demagogic piece meant to play on the Michael Jackson attacks the UK medias love to pull on MJ ever since his success in 1979 with Off The Wall and in 1982 with Thriller uncrowned the icons of British Invasion from the 1960s and 1970s, which hurt the patriotic pride of several British media and individuals the same way the Beatles catalogue purchase MJ did offended them; and which the UK medias love to attack MJ with, calling him a thief when he bought the catalogue in good terms and did it after asking Paul McCartney if he was buying it and Paul said he was not interested.Overall, the only thing this doc did was motivate millions of non-fans and haters to do their research on Michael Jackson and his life and it made them realise how so many lies and rubbish has been cultivated over MJ. And as a final note, I ask viewers to do careful research on Michael Jackson and his life. Read the court documents, the FBI files on Michael Jackson available on their website, the testimonials of everybody who hung out with him, the professional and personal history of Michael Jackson and you will see how hundreds of them state over and over again how MJ is one of the greatest human beings they ever met. Whereas if you consult the professional and personal history of his accusers, you will notice how they are plagued with problems, frauds, and disturbing histories plagued with problematic acts. And that will tell you all indeed regarding this fraud of a doc.In the end, the more you do research away from tabloids and check people who present receipts and facts rather than feeling and cheap tabloid tactics, then you will uncover the truth about who is Michael Jackson.And do watch Square One MJ. Not only does it interview people who knew and interacted with Michael Jackson, it also interviews people who interacted with the accusers and it presents receipts and facts. Not emotional manipulation like Leaving Neverland does over and over again.

Seit längererem suche ich diese Dokumentation. Hatte mich gefreut bis ich feststellen musste, dass diese Doku nur in Englisch stattfand ohne Synchronisation.Echt schade. Denn dieses Thema ist leider allgegenwärtig.
