The film traces the first part of Michael Jackson’s journeyfrom the discovery of his talent as leader of the Jackson Five until his evolution into a visionary performer, driven by a creative ambition that led him to become the greatest of all.

The harassment allegations that marked the pop star’s final years would have rendered much of the narrative material of the ’90s and 2000s virtually unusable. It remains to be seen whether, one day, that second part of the story will ever see the light.
