Leaving Neverland

Leaving Neverland

We couldn’t resist featuring the documentary that has everybody talking. Upon release, Oprah Winfrey stated that “this film transcends Michael Jackson” - and we agree. More than just the final nail in Michael’s coffin, the two-part series is a deep, unwavering look at the scourge of child abuse, the scarring and sometimes bizarre way that it manifests itself in the victims and most importantly the fact that it can occur where you least expect it.

This is not an easy watch and its hard to describe the emotions it insights in the viewer, but don’t let that put you off, the hype is more than justified with this one.

This is our second feature of director Dan Reed, who delivers a masterclass in the art of the straightforward, minimalistic documentary format.
