Square One opened my eyes to things I had never known about the Michael Jackson allegations before. Most people in the general public who are not fans probably don't know anything about the 1993 allegations other than the usual "He paid them off!" line. This documentary explains how Michael Jackson was essentially backed up into a corner and put through a humiliating ordeal in front of the whole world while being false accused of a heinous crime. The most impressive part about it was the fact that they provided official documents and other forms of evidence to make their case. I highly recommend it. Anyone who thinks Michael Jackson is guilty must give this a watch!

The documentary may be well made as far as cinematography goes, but this film expects the audience to take the words of two men who are making brand new accusations against Michael Jackson after many years of defending him. But here's the most ridiculous part of it all--Michael Jackson has been dead for 11 years. How convenient! What's more, this "documentary" also very conveniently fails to mention that these two men have been suing the Michael Jackson Estate for almost 7 years, possible for hundreds of millions of dollars. Could a financial motive be at the heart of it? Just like the previous accusers (the first one who refused to cooperate after receiving millions in settlement and the second one whose entire family had a history of making false accusations for money and committing fraud), probably a big YES. Let's not forget, Michael Jackson, when alive, faced a jury and was found unanimously Not Guilty against the rabid efforts of a corrupt DA Tom Sneddon (that's right! If you did not know this, look it up! There's a lot that the media does not tell you about the Michael Jackson trial.) There are plenty more instances of the film doctoring clips and audios to manipulate the audience into thinking it was something other than what it actually was. One of the people mentioned as MJ's "boyfriend" has come out and spoken against the film and threatened to sue. All in all, this so-called documentary was nothing more than a hit piece riding on the #MeToo wave that aimed at swaying public opinion against Michael Jackson and pressuring the judge in their ongoing lawsuits into forcing the estate submitting to their demands. Rather shameful, if you ask me!

Learnt a lot about how innocent men end up in terrible positions by trusting the wrong people. Also opened my eyes to the corruption that exists within the US judicial system, especially within the District Attorney's office. Highly recommend.
