Michael Jackson's Boys (broadcast in the U.S as a Primetime Live special titled, Michael Jackson's Secret World) Is a 2005 TV documentary made by Tiger Aspect Productions, and first aired in the UK on Channel 4 in January 2005 narrated by Mark Strong and later on ABC in the U.S. in February 2005 with narration by Martin Bashir, the U.S. version also featured addition interviews not shown in the British version that increased the length of the documentary for an additional hour.[1] The documentary was released just prior to the Trial of Michael Jackson,[2] and it focuses on a "supposed history"[2] of Michael Jackson's interest in boys.[3][2]
The film consists mostly of new interviews with people close to Jackson and archive footage.[citation needed] Some of the participants were given "compensation" for their interviews.[4] The U.S. version aired a disclaimer saying that while some of the interviews in the British version received compensation, no payment had been rendered for the interviews in the additional hour of footage.
