HBO says it will air the four-hour documentary on pop star Michael Jackson on March 3rd and 4th. “Leaving Neverland” revives allegations that the superstar was a pedophile. The film is based on the testimony of two of Jackson’s alleged victims and their experiences at Jackson’s Santa Barbara ranch. Critics at the Sundance Film Festival raved about the film, calling it gut-wrenching and powerful. Fans of the King of Pop have been lashing out and calling it a smear. Jackson successfully defended himself against abuse charges in 2005. He died in 2009.
