What happens

Michael Jackson's Boys (broadcast in the US as a Primetime Live special titled Michael Jackson's Secret World) Is a 2005 TV documentary made by Tiger Aspect Productions. It was first broadcast in the UK on Channel 4 in January 2005, narrated by Mark Strong, and in the US on ABC in February 2005, with narration by Martin Bashir. The US version featured additional interviews, which increased the length of the documentary by an hour. The documentary was released just prior to the trial of Michael Jackson, and it focuses on a supposed history of Michael Jackson's interest in boys. The film consists mostly of new interviews with people close to Jackson and archive footage. Some of the participants were given "compensation" for their interviews. The US version aired a disclaimer saying that while some of the interviews in the British version received compensation, no payment had been rendered for the interviews in the additional hour of footage.
