Starring Michael Jackson’s nephew Jaafar Jackson, the biopic focuses on the King of Pop’s early life and career, with its narrative structured to end around 1988, well before the period when the most serious allegations against him surfaced publicly.
"First of all, if you're a movie critic, and you're complaining about the stuff, all this other stuff-but the movie ends at '88. The stuff you're talking about, accusations, happen ," Lee told CNN defending Antoine Fuqua's decision.
