This documentary shows the True Insight into a present day “Salem Style” type Witch Hunt. The Target? A world famous Star and Humanitarian accused by a deceptive family, coaxed by the Law Enforcement, and manipulated by rating hungry world media Networks and their reporters…..
It’s An Honest open minded look behind the Beautiful Gates of Neverland Ranch, MJ and lets you see what the Media and Sheriff’s Office did not reveal, or want you to know. I loved this documentary and watched it twice upon it’s arrival, and you will want to too. In addition, I appreciated Larry Nimmer taking the time to contact me about a possible delay of delivery and the new updated ending that was added with the Jackson Memorial services. I Still received it very Quickly and way before estimated delivery date !! Thank you for such a Great DVD !!!

This documentary is tremendous. It paints a totally different picture of MJ than what the world media had portrayed. Also, I appreciated Larry Nimmer staying in touch with me about the schedule of delivery and a new updated ending ending was added with the Jackson Memorial services.

This documentary presents a concise, detailed, and truthful look at Michael Jackson’s 2005 child molestation trial and the 1993 allegations that preceded it. If you want to know the REAL story, without all the innuendos and gossip from the general media, you must order this DVD.

It’s sad that this documentary has never been shown on TV, because I imagine it would open the eyes of a lot of people who still believe Michael Jackson is guilty, despite the innocent verdict. Why do they still believe that? It’s because of all the negative media Michael got at the time. Unfortunately those who already have their minds made up that he was guilty are not likely to buy this DVD, which is ashame, because they really should.
I feel this documentary proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Michael Jackson was innocent. It takes you through Neverland, talks about the claims made by the family of the accuser (that they were all held hostage at Neverland among those claims) as well as their more Michael-positive rebuttal video, talks to a jury member of the trial, shows the interview with the accuser and the police, and lots more.
I recommend this for everyone. Whether you believe he’s innocent (I always did) or guilty, you need to see this documentary. I will always continue to defend Michael whenever I can, and this movie had some great facts to add to my argument.

Thank you, Mr. Nimmer, for producing this revealing DVD. It gives us such an insight to the truth behind Michael Jackson’s (evil) accusers, the (pompous) Sheriff’s Department, (the vindictive) Tom Sneddon, (the backstabbing) Martin Bashir and the dreadful media. We would never see on television what you have shown us on this DVD, never. I’m glad “you” were the one hired to work with the Jackson defense team to film Neverland for the jury. Because of your neutrality towards Michael Jackson I feel this DVD was produced in the most bona fide manner on your part.
My husband and I were extremely appalled watching the Sheriff’s Dept. invade Neverland… especially knowing they waited until Michael was out of the country first. It was clear they were all mesmerized being in Michael Jackson’s house. I pray these money-grubbing families (and all the other people involved) who have sent Michael to an early grave are living with the heaviest, nagging convictions of their evil deeds to the point of insanity! Sorry, I had to vent here. Of course, this DVD only solidified what I have believed all along. I hope all the MJ haters and the “fence-sitters” really consider watching this DVD. Too bad, for Michael’s sake, this piece wasn’t produced and aired on television after the trial, but I am very happy it is available at all. It will serve to comfort Michael’s children and his family.
I ordered my DVD on Thursday, 8/13/09 and received it only two days later on Saturday, 8/15/09. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised to see it in my mailbox so soon! It didn’t play very well in my (old) DVD player but played perfectly in my laptop.
Thank you, again, Mr. Nimmer for a superb DVD in Michael’s defense.

I agree with everything Tina Grimes said in her review. In fact, I feel so strongly that the MEDIA–even mainstream–was hell bent on convicting Michael Jackson that I created a discussion board to talk about ways to restore Michael’s reputation as the children-centric humanitarian that he is.
This group, called “Vindication Better Than Tributes,” supports full and irrevocable vindication of Michael Jackson BY MAINSTREAM MEDIA. Michael was already exonerated by a jury of his peers in 2005, but that’s not good enough. For the sake of Michael’s children, and for the health of society, mainstream media must become more responsible. This group will discuss the manner in which truth can compel mainstream media to examine its methods and publicly admit that it wrongly accused–and continues to accuse–Michael Jackson of despicable crimes. Many people still believe Michael was guilty. They were influenced to believe the allegations by an out-of-control and biased mainstream media. This was wrong and continues to be wrong. To a high degree, mainstream media has gone tabloid and is very destructive to many, many people’s lives.
Here are the members of mainstream media (not a full list) who have–directly or peripherally–denigrated, mocked and/or ridiculed a good man–and continue to do so.
The List of Shame:
Gloria Allred, Martin Bashir, Diane Dimond, Willie Geist, Nancy Grace, Ian Halperin, Jay Leno, Bill Maher, Michael Medved, Jim Moret, Bill O’Reilly, Maureen Orth, Joan Rivers, Chris Rock, Diane Sawyer, Mark Steyn, Jeffrey Toobin, Young Turks
This group is NOT about vilifying the boys who falsely accused Michael of these crimes. They were kids who were easily manipulated by their parents. Our official position is that no matter how egregious the parents’ actions were, these two children (now young adults) may still love the only parents they have. Jordan, especially, was a pawn whom Michael defended in an interview. Michael said he “knew the child’s (Jordan) heart” and he would never have done this on his own. Our desire is that Jordan will summon the strength to come forward and vindicate his good friend, Michael, who loved him. We all need to gather around him and make him realize we support him so he can do this.
Here’s the group address: [...]

I have watched Michael Jackson for years. A few months ago I bought his concert DVD for the dangerous tour which is great. I wanted to see more of Neverland as it was when he lived there but more importently I wanted the whole story behind the trial and accusations. This video provides just that. Very well made and edited. It takes you through the trial issues step by step and allows you to form your own optinion. T was told I had to wait for addtional footage to be added before it shipped and that was worth it. At the end there’s footage of the funeral service, celebrations and more. If your a Michael Jackson fan then you really need this video!

First, I would like to thank Mr. Nimmer for being very honest in his documentary. Mr. Nimmer did not film this documentary to prove or disprove the charges against Michael. He actually admits he was a little reluctant to even participate in the filming because of what he “might find”. Like many others he wasn’t sure if Michael did what was alleged or not. It just so happened that in the process he came to discover that these allegations were false, that the accusers were dishonest people who made their living off of other people’s hard work, and that the media is always more than willing to do or say just about anything for ratings.
I didn’t buy this dvd to confirm what I already knew. I already knew in my heart that Michael was innocent. Any honest person could’ve looked into Michael’s eyes and saw he was innocent of these cruel, disgusting charges. I bought this dvd strictly for the facts surrounding the case and although I wish there was more “Michael footage” Mr. Nimmer didn’t disappoint. The media gladly presented pictures they thought weren’t in Michael’s best interest and aired only so-called “evidence” from the prosecution that was supposed to prove to the public “Michael’s guilt”. I’m glad Mr.Nimmer showed the other side. The side that wouldn’t garner ratings but would show Michael for the giving, caring individual whose love for others made him an easy target in the eyes of those who felt it was easier to lie for gain instead of work and make an honest living. For those who want the truth I would suggest purchasing this film.
There is actual footage of Gavin Arvizo, the accuser, in a taped police interview. Hardly looked like a boy who was traumatized after having been molested, but more so like a boy well-coached and well rehearsed. Although Gavin had taken acting classes his ‘performance’ during questioning was hardly believable, laughable at best if the situation weren’t so serious. Footage also shows a rebuttal tape made by the Arvizos in Michael’s defense after the airing of the Martin Bashir interview. It was very interesting to see the actual accusers as I had only seen the boy in that infamous interview Living With Michael Jackson. According to Gavin the molestation supposedly had taken place before this rebuttal video, yet he and his family are professing their love for Michael, explaining how he helped them when no one else would and how he was like a father to them, even calling him daddy at one point. Would you make a video showing extreme adulation for someone who had done such horrible things to you?… Exactly. You can see from these tapes that this is a family that loves the limelight. All the kids (Gavin, brother Star and sister Davellin) studied performing arts. The mother even mentioned that they wanted to be in the entertainment industry. Gavin himself wanted to be an actor. Hmm…I could go on but I’ll leave that alone.
Footage of the Neverland raid. (Keep in mind Michael was out of the country when they invaded his estate).Watching this showed the utter lack of respect the sheriffs had for Michael, seen in the way they treated his employees and the way approximately 77 sheriffs, deputies, etc. intruded upon his home and violated his privacy. 77! My question is who was taking care of real criminal activity that may have needed police attention?! They were , in my opinion, very arrogant and felt they were entitled to be that way because they were the law.
Sure, I could write more but it’s not the same as you seeing this with your own eyes and hearing with your own ears. The fact is there were well-hatched plans by GREEDY ASSOCIATES(those who worked with Michael directly and indirectly), BEGGERS, LIARS AND THIEVES(the Arvizos, accusers before them and even past disgruntled employees) and a bitter District Attorney (Tom Sneddon who’s had a vendetta against Michael since the 90′s). By the way Janet (the mother) and her family had been swindlers all their lives. She’d sued JC Penney in the past, claiming their security guards sexually and physically abused her in an open parking lot, yet no one witnessed this. The security guards in question actually caught her son stealing and a chase ensued where they ended up in the parking lot. A scuffle took place and the Arvizos attacked them, not the other way around (according to police records). She was also brought up on welfare fraud charges amongst other things. Says a lot about her character, or lack thereof. The Arvizos made a living off the backs of others. It also says a lot about the DA/ prosecution. Either they had a serious vendetta against Michael or their mental capacity was such that they could not differentiate between honest testimonies of credible witnesses and that of outlandish “he held us hostage at Neverland and I was afraid he was going to kill us” stories, concocted by serial scam artists who didn’t want to lose what they saw as their meal ticket for life. The most unbelievable part of Janet Arvizo’s testimony (found in Michael Jackson Conspiracy) was that she and her family were going to plan an escape via a hot air balloon. This is what the DA presented to the court.
Michael was a beautiful soul who was taken advantage of. I’m just happy that now he can finally rest in the love and peace of God the Father, in Heaven. Like the Bible says, whether good or bad, “you WILL reap what you sow”.
Although I thought the documentary was well done there are a few things I would like to mention in closing, if I may:
1. I totally agree with one of the reviewers. Mr. Nimmer didn’t have to make negative comments about Michael’s
face. I saw no point in that.
2. On the extras included in the film there was a supporter of Michael’s, who I’m assuming agreed to be taped, who
unfortunately had lipstick on her teeth. Whomever was filming at the time I guess thought it was funny because
they kept zooming in on it. I thought that was in very poor taste.
3. Lastly, if you haven’t read Michael Jackson Conspiracy by Aphrodite Jones that should be your next purchase.
Full of facts, even some pictures. Very informative with actual trial testimony by Chris Tucker,
Jay Leno (who was subpoenaed) and others.

As a Michael Jackson fan I loved this DVD.
I wish other fans and non fans could see
this DVD as well.
Enjoyed the extras and outtakes.
The picture quality and sound were perfect.
Thanx Amazon and Larry Nimmer.

This documentary serves as an excellent visual aid to understanding the false allegations made against Mr. Jackson during his 2005 trial. It exposes the Arvizo family what they truly are. These allegations were only made after Michael learned from Chris Tucker and Jay Leno that this was a family he needed to steer clear of and Michael began to distance himself from them. This is an excellent insightful piece on understanding how easily someone can be falsely accused and how the media will do anything (I mean ANYTHING) to increase their ratings! Michael Jackson once said “lies run sprints…but TRUTH runs marathons.” In the long run, the whole world hopefully will know the truth behind these allegations and Tom Sneddon. Also, it gives a brief glimpse into the false allegations in 1993 which were made after Mr. Jackson refused to invest $20,000,000 into the boy’s father’s movie script which was briefly reported on CNN years ago but of course it didn’t get 24 hour coverage like the sensationalism does. Excellent job, Mr. Nimmer, on this visual account of the accusers and their history of trying to “milk celebrities.” However, for a detailed account of what really happened in the trial, one needs to read Michael Jackson Conspiracy by Aphrodite Jones…now that is a GREAT book and well documented regarding the facts. The 1993 allegations are well documented in “Redemption” by Geraldine Hughes. These three pieces of work put together truly tell the story of how Mr. Jackson was falsely accused and how his life was destroyed thanks to the media capitalizing on anything they could sensationalize. I’m sick to my stomach that the entire world does not have enough curiosity about the truth to watch this documentary and read these two books!

This was so different from all we see on TV. I think everyone who was a fan or not should watch this. It makes me happy to see how many fans and and friends MJ had all over the world. It is sickening that some are so cruel and that the media looks for anything negative. How hard this must be for celebrities and their families. Very touching footage and I would recommend it.
