ProSieben to show Michael Jackson documentary as early as April 6
«Leaving Neverland» is the documentary that has everyone talking right now. ProSieben has secured the rights for German-speaking countries and will air the two-part film soon.
Journalists, companions, opponents and fans of Michael Jackson discuss the documentary in which the two men James Safechuck (40) and Wade Robson (36) tell how Michael Jackson abused them as children. "He was one of the kindest, gentlest, most loving people I knew," says Wade Robson in "Leaving Neverland" about his former idol Michael Jackson. "And he sexually abused me for over seven years." ProSieben will show "Leaving Neverland" on Saturday, April 6, 2019, in prime time.
ProSieben editor-in-chief Stefan Vaupel: "The world is talking about "Leaving Neverland". The documentary and the reactions to it show how broad public interest in Michael Jackson and the charges against him is. Child abuse is one of the biggest social taboos of our time. In recent years, the church, artists and others have repeatedly bought the silence of their victims. That's why we're showing "Leaving Neverland" on ProSieben."
