Product Overview
INCLUDES NEW FOOTAGE & FAN REACTIONS FROM THE 2009 STAPLES CENTER MEMORIAL SERVICE
Michael Jackson has led an incredible life, from his beginnings as a child star, to his rise as the King of Pop, followed by numerous health issues, public humiliation and a highly publicised fall from grace. Yet his name remains synonymous with music and his popularity continues to sustain legions of fans worldwide. Produced just before his fatal heart attack on the evening of June 25th 2009, and revised shortly after to include rare footage from the emotional outpouring by fans and peers at the Staple Center memorial service, UNMASKED revisits how Michael’s life was shaped by his early music career as a child before exploring his work as a solo artist and how a collaboration with Quincy Jones yielded one of the best selling albums of all time. We also unearth the events that led to Michael’s decline as a recording artist and reveal the bizarre personal problems and legal battles that shamed the superstar into a life of seclusion.
The Michael Jackson: Unmasked documentary is the definitive story of a star without equals, separating the man from the myth and the myths from the scandals.

Executive Producers: Brian Aabech, Marcello Tammaro
