In light of Michael Jackson's recent demise, this intimate collection of home videos gives his devotees an opportunity to catch a glimpse of the man behind the image.
The deceased King of Pop released the footage years earlier to quash his critics: " Well, I thought it was time to do so, because many people have opinions about me; they haven't met me, they don't even know me. I thought it was time to open up, to show them who I really am. I'm just simply Michael Jackson."
Deconstructing the media myth, the series sees Michael as a family man, sharing Christmas dinner with an acting legend, and custard-pie fighting with another international superstar. Poignant and almost cathartic, Michael Jackson's Private Home Videos is must-see viewing for fans.
