A four-hour piece, is that a tabloid? I didn’t characterize Jackson at all in the film - I think if you watch it you’ll have noticed that it’s a story about these two families and Jackson is an element of that story. Anyone with any knowledge of that form would recognize a documentary. “I’d say it’s beyond doubt a documentary. “It is a four-hour documentary by an experienced documentarian with a long track record in investigation and telling complex stories and this is a complex story,” Reed told the Hollywood Reporter. However, director Dan Reed has now responded directly to their claims that it is a “tabloid character assassination” and pointed towards the film’s four hour run-time. In the wake of the film’s debut last Friday, Jackson’s estate described it as a “public lynching” and argued that the late singer is unable to defend himself. The documentary debuted at Sundance Film Festival last week and focuses on Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who both allege that they were molested by the pop icon as children. The director of Leaving Neverland has responded after the documentary received widespread backlash from the estate of Michael Jackson. "It is a four-hour documentary by an experienced documentarian."
