About the film
Leaving Neverland is a 2019 documentary television film directed and produced by Dan Reed. It focuses on two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who allege that they were sexually abused as children by the American singer Michael Jackson. Following its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2019, Leaving Neverland was broadcast in two parts on HBO. In March 2019, a shortened version was broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK. Leaving Neverland received acclaim, winning the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special, but mixed reviews from viewers. Leaving Neverland triggered a media backlash against Jackson and a reassessment of his legacy. However, it boosted sales of his music. Jackson's estate condemned it as a "tabloid character assassination", while Jackson's fans organized protests.
