4 Feb
Summary
- Unheard audio features Michael Jackson discussing children.
- A new documentary examines his 2005 criminal trial.
- Tapes reveal his mindset and troubled childhood experiences.
Previously unheard audio of Michael Jackson, discussing his belief that children wanted to touch and hug him, is featured in a new UK documentary. The four-part series, "Michael Jackson: The Trial," produced by Wonderhood Studios, delves into the pop star's 2005 criminal trial for sexual abuse of a minor.
The documentary, airing on Channel 4, utilizes interviews, unreleased footage, and the private audio recordings. These recordings originated from interviews with a rabbi, offering an unprecedented look into Jackson's mindset and his difficult childhood.
The tapes also reportedly demonstrate his "fixation" with Gavin Arvizo, the minor in the 2005 trial. Jackson, who died in 2009, faced numerous child sex abuse allegations throughout his life, including a 1994 settlement.
The release of this documentary follows the recent trailer for the Hollywood biopic "Michael," starring Jackson's nephew, Jaafar, which is set to premiere in cinemas on April 24. Jackson passed away on June 25, 2009.
