The Issue

Why is it personal to me? The real question is why is it personal to you? Think of the legacy of Michael Jackson—an unparalleled artist, a philanthropist, and a man who connected with millions through his music and humanitarian work. Yet, despite being acquitted of all charges during his lifetime, documentaries continue to tarnish his reputation without definitive proof, obstructing his ability to rest in peace.

Michael Jackson dedicated his career to bringing joy and wonderment, especially to children. While he spent time with young individuals to provide them experiences he never had as a child, those around him—including children he interacted with—have repeatedly asserted that he never engaged in any wrongdoing. These narratives have been overshadowed by speculative documentaries, which undermine the voices of those who defended his innocence.

It's time to address this narrative by asking Netflix to take down the inflammatory documentary that paints a one-sided view of a man who cannot defend himself any longer. Without clear-cut evidence, it's unjust to continue this cycle of defamation. Netflix wields immense influence and as such, should be responsible in its portrayal of figures who have made profound contributions to society.

Consider facts and witness statements that have been scrutinized in both legal and public domains, only to find lack of evidence credible enough to withstand courtroom scrutiny. Despite this, the media tends to skew towards sensationalism rather than facts, derailing narratives to maintain public intrigue at the cost of a fair depiction.

Allow Michael Jackson's fans and family the peace to remember him for his contributions rather than allegations that have not been substantiated. By signing this petition, we can collectively request Netflix to reconsider the airing of such biased content and work towards more balanced storytelling that honors artistic legacies appropriately.

Join us in our plea. Let us honor the truth and facilitate a compassionate reflection on the real story. Sign the petition to call on Netflix to remove their Michael Jackson documentary and respect a man who gave so much to the world.
