The Michael Jackson biopic

He was the King of Pop, but he had a more serious stain in the final phase of his life when he was directly accused of being a pedophile and made an agreement with the families to end the legal process. Michael Jackson, one of the most iconic and important artists of the 20th century, had a life marked by successes and sadness, nothing more natural – and challenging – than turning him into a film.
