What happens

The Michael Jackson Interview: The Footage You Were Never Meant To See is a television documentary film released as a rebuttal to Living with Michael Jackson, in which the British journalist Martin Bashir interviewed the American singer Michael Jackson from May 2002 to January 2003. Jackson felt betrayed by Bashir and said that Living with Michael Jackson gave a distorted picture of his behavior and conduct as a father. It was broadcast on February 20, 2003, on Fox in the US, and on February 24 on Sky One in the UK. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
