(Nimmer.net) Nimmer had what could have been five
minutes of Michael Jackson asterisk time –- during the big last (while he was alive, not counting the new
ones) Jackson trial Nimmer was hired to shoot some video at Neverland for the
defense team. Thankfully for Jackson fans he is the kind of bold “copyright criminal”/free
speech advocate that decided to stretch his five minutes into an hour-plus of
Jackson time by crafting a documentary about his experience, the trial, his
footage, the victory party, and Jackson’s supporters high and low. There is no
groundbreaking footage here, but there is some wonderful ephemera – I love
seeing Michael’s home and furniture and glimpses of his actual life – not the
weirdness he put on for the media and the media ran with in ways that destroyed
the pop superhero. Not a slick production, and not for those with no
investment, but Jackson diehards would be foolish to not seek this out.
