The documentary premiered this year at Sundance Film festival in Utah. After the documentary's first part aired on Monday, part two followed the night after with host Oprah Winfrey interviewing the subjects and the film director Dan Reed.
“We are extremely sympathetic to any legitimate victim of child abuse. This film, however, does those victims a disservice,” Jackson´s estate explained.
Variety reported that the estate had filed a US$100 million lawsuit against HBO over claims that "Leaving Neverland violates a non-disparagement clause in the contract over the broadcast rights to the Bucharest concert”. (sop/wng)
