“The real story hasn’t been told. The real story is that Michael Jackson was the victim of an elaborate extortion scheme that launched the false allegations.” – Geraldine Hughes

Ever since the release of the shady HBO piece Leaving Neverland, detractors have been up their roots trying to cancel the singer and his work. Boycotts, removals of artworks dedicated to him, bashing of his fans on Twitter, attackers have not minced their witch hunt. And many of these bullies were Hollywood and show business figures. From the MeToo witch hunt mob to tabloid whores of the crassest culture. All acting like knowledge experts on Michael Jackson, all ignorant of the truth about his life. And from that, the public, both fans and non-fans, have rebelled against this trolling.

By doing their own researches on the singer. Online, on YouTube, in books, and websites that presented court documents and reliable information from individuals who knew the singer and the accusers. And one information resource, The MjCast podcast, has done a great job educating non-fans and fans about Michael. Gaining presentations from experts like the reporter Charles Thomson, who has done extensive reports about the 2005 trial and 1993 case, but also from music colleagues of Michael Jackson and family members. All of them defending the singer as a great human being with a heart of gold that welcomed many people, but who also opened his door to fraudulent bandits like the Arvizos, whose lies have been exposed since the 2005 trial, and the Chandlers.

And thanks to their researches, many non-fans and detractors have switched sides and now defend Michael Jackson. Through a large wave of support that the HBO slanderers did not expect. Furthermore, fans and non-fans have debunked the entire HBO Leaving Neverland rubbish minute by minute; exposing enormous lies the accusers Wade Robson and James Safechuck have said, which the director Dan Reed has deleted from his documentary. More than an hour of lies over a four hour documentary piece. From that, the anger of the public and many showbiz figures toward the slanderous HBO piece versus the overpraises of the press has confirmed to all that there is a conspiracy against the singer. Over his success, his humanitarian messages, his political power, and his talent at conquering the heart of the world. Ever since the 1980s, but also after he bought the Sony/Beatles Catalogue. Gaining the ire of people like Paul McCartney, who had been first offered the Beatles Catalogue, but had refused it because he did not see any gain out of this, so he gave Michael Jackson permission to buy it. Though after seeing the money his friend has received, Paul resented the singer ever since and has attacked him; although Yoko Ono approved and praised the purchase of the Beatles catalogue as a blessing that would help others in need; as the money would go to education trusts that Michael had organised.

From those attacks the HBO slander piece did, several documentaries have appeared online and on Media platforms. Firstly, Michael Jackson Chase the Truth; a very good documentary that interviews the reporter Mike Smallcombe and a couple of friends of Michael defending the singer. Then, the excellent Lies of Leaving Neverland, that presents all the lies Robson and Safechuck have spat versus their own court depositions that contradict their film. And finally, this magnificent documentary.

Square One.

Which entirely covers the 1993 allegations. The one that started all those accusation businesses. Dealing with the Chandlers. With Evan Chandler, a failed scriptwriter and dodgy dentist who exploited, for his own capital gain, the friendship his son Jordan had with Michael Jackson. But when Michael refused to hang out with Evan and his family after seeing through Evan’s games, it would be then that Chandler would try to blackmail Michael Jackson with money and movie deals. And if his deals were not answered, he would accuse the singer of being a child molester. An extortion scheme that the singer refused to participate. Which evolved into the tabloid frenzy that plagued the singer in 1993. With vile accusations, lies, and terrible California court rules that affected negatively the singer. Even though Jordan Chandler always defended Michael Jackson. Especially while he was studying in a New York University. Befriending others like Josephine Zhony, a music school classmate to whom he expressed his love for Michael. Defending the singer when people were debating about him. And dancing to his music during parties.

From Josephine, we hear this testimonial. But also those of Geraldine Hughes, who had worked for Larry Feldman, the attorney of Evan Chandler, and saw the deceptive machinery and fraudulent manipulation that Evan and her boss were trying to do on Michael Jackson. Then there is also Jenny Winings, who went at Neverland Ranch and who defends the singer. Alongside Caroline Fristedt . Both of them confirming Michael’s innocence. Both denouncing the Arvizos as liars and bandits as they hung out with that family at Neverland on the exact dates of their allegations.

So through this one hour and a half range of testimonials and visual proofs, Danny Wu presents to us how the 1993 allegations was an extortion scheme that took advantage of terrible laws that infringed the human rights of Michael Jackson. But it also confirms how all the bandits like Victor Gutierrez, maids and butlers that have attacked Michael Jackson were all coached and directed by Evan Chandler, who trained them in attacking the singer’s name.

Furthermore, Danny Wu proves how if the 1993 case crumbles down, then all the accusations that have followed since obliterate themselves. Since all the following accusers have tried to contact Jordan Chandler for their witch hunt agenda. And at all times, Jordan Chandler has refused to participate in their games.

Technically, the film is well paced and well edited. With a clear timeline of events as they happened. Presenting numerous court documents, but also articles and videos that show both sides of the case. From accusers to reporters and defenders of the singer. And in its video quality, the film presents the people interviewed, but also drone shots of locations like Los Angeles and New York.

There is also a soundtrack following the documentary at times. And although I am not always fond of soundtracks in documentaries as they can be pleonastic to the content presented before us, I did felt its use was adjust. Not over-invading. Just appropriate.

In the end, this Michael Jackson documentary should be one of the first pieces presented to anybody that wants answers to questions regarding the 1993 allegations and the people who caused them. A piece that should be presented not only on YouTube, but also on television and cinemas worldwide. For those who know about the singer, but not everything about the 1993 allegations. For anybody who still attacks the singer’s name. And for anyone that is not a fan, but wants to know accurate facts about Michael Jackson.

A jewel of education that can shatter the crass which tabloids and Hollywood media whores have spread for too long.
