Leaving Neverland: ProSieben Spezial

Directed by Dan Reed2h 2m2019

The world is talking about 'Leaving Neverland. In our ProSieben special, we ask questions that the documentary doesn't, and look at the most important moments in the life of the superstar. In addition, we explore the question of how the new allegations change the view of Michael Jackson's overall work. This helps to classify the special documentary 'Leaving Neverland'.

Our read: Leaving Neverland: ProSieben Spezial (2019) reads as a heavy, measured, grounded documentary entry — extreme in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
