Living with Michael Jackson

Common card · No. 246171

Living with Michael Jackson is a 2003 British television documentary film in which journalist Martin Bashir interviewed American singer Michael Jackson from May 2002 to January 2003. It was broadcast in the United Kingdom on ITV (as a Tonight with Trevor McDonald special) on 3 February 2003, and in the United States three days later on ABC, introduced by Barbara Walters. Jackson took Bashir on a tour of his home, Neverland Ranch, and discussed his family, unhappy childhood, plastic surgery, and relationships with children. In November 2003, the BBC aired Louis, Martin & Michael, a documentary by British filmmaker Louis Theroux, who had lost out to Bashir to make the documentary. The following month, following controversy raised from Bashir's documentary, Jackson was charged with seven counts of child molestation and two counts of intoxicating a minor with alcohol, all of which he was acquitted of in a court of law in June 2005.
