  It really hasn’t disappeared.

  I can’t have it ready to watch in less than 5 minutes…

  When the sequel was released a few days ago, but isn’t worth writing a whole article about…

  That’s weird because I saw it listed on one of the streaming platforms last night.

  Havent heard of this documentary, I am going to check it out later today (although 4 hours seems a bit long). I will add that if you know where to look, you can most definitely find it. :)

    Or it could be a case of arrested development due to the abuse that the suffered at the hands of his father. It looked more like a man enjoying a belated childhood than a man with malicious intent towards children.

      There are many ways to make up for a missed childhood, especially when you have access to large financial resources. Hanging out with young pre-teen boys, swapping them around with regularity and having sleepovers with them is not the sole way to deal with childhood abuse from your father.

      One option would have been to move out of the spotlight in LA and move to some place like São Tomé and Príncipe and follow through with some new hobbies; open a restaurant, open a small record studio, set up a charity program and get involved in day to day management and development. A wide range of possibilities were open to Jackson.

      While the documentary does not provide formal evidence to back the statements made by the two men, I thought their story seemed convincing. If they were lying, they have some very good acting skills.
