How should we view Jackson?

Now, the family says these allegations are smears.

The estate, as you've highlighted, was heavily involved in the making of this film.

So it has, you know, the family's complete approval.

The lawyers say the accusers are, and I'm quoting here, the epitome of unreliable sources because they went from defending Jackson to accusing him.

What's your response to that?

And to be clear, Wade and James did not defend Jackson and then reverse.

So as for your documentary, it was produced by HBO, it was released on their platform, then it was pulled after several years.

Is it available still streaming any longer?

All right, so only in the United States can we not stream this.

Yeah, I think North America.

North America, gotcha.

Maybe this is the final question.

The success of the film, we started off talking about that.

Are you surprised that Jackson's legacy has continued to be so strong?

Clearly, your film and the accusations that have come out publicly have done major damage to his brand.

Every time I personally think of Michael Jackson, it is my first thought.

But are you surprised that his music, that this film, continues to show real success?

Well, we will leave it there.

Dan, thank you so much for talking with us.
