‘Leaving Neverland’ Director Dan Reed on Making a Sequel About Michael Jackson Allegations: ‘My Goal Is Not to Knock Him Off His Pedestal — It Never Has Been’
'Leaving Neverland' director Dan Reed on continuing to tell Wade Robson and James Safechuck's story, why the doc isn't releasing on HBO and more.
Featuring exclusive access to court hearings, the 50-minute documentary primarily focuses on Robson and Safechuck’s fight for justice after suing Jackson’s companies, which are governed by his estate, for neglecting to protect them from the alleged abuse. Robson, a well-known choreographer who has worked with NSYNC and Britney Spears, and Safechuck, an executive at a digital creative agency, both met Jackson as children and allege that he had separate sexual relationships with them. Before the first doc aired in 2019, the Jackson estate sued HBO for $100 million for violating a 1992 non-disparagement clause tied to a concert film from his “Dangerous” tour, eventually forcing the network to go to arbitration.
