Their parents lament that they, too, were caught up in the whirlwind of JacksonвЂ™s celebrity вЂ“ even as they were moved further and further away from JacksonвЂ™s bedroom when the group travelled with him. ThereвЂ™s a thorny complexity to their bond with him, one that sits in an uncomfortable limbo of complicity вЂ“ they defended Jackson in court when he was accused of molesting another young teen вЂ“ albeit complicity that a young child is in no place to make a decision about. Even years later, they talk of having feelings for him as adults. The film explores in depth the rush the boys felt at being brought into the same sphere as the pop superstar, from the glamour of the stage and screen to the more simple excitement of being invited over to watch films like Batteries Not Included in a private cinema before other people had seen it. Director Dan Reed frames everything in relation to that emotional context: the lingering effects of the trust that he built up with them, so that he could allegedly take advantage of them as kids and silence them for decades after.

It is only now, though, that he вЂ“ and Safechuck вЂ“ are openly confronting their childhood trauma, an important part of the journey towards recovering and processing that the movie sensitively highlights. Today, Robson is the choreographer of people such as NSYNC and Britney Spears. Robson, meanwhile, won a dance contest and went on to dance on-stage at gigs and tours with Jackson.

Safechuck was cast in a Pepsi commercial alongside the singer, which led to them becoming friends. If that sounds like a potentially lurid or exploitative documentary, though, Leaving NeverlandвЂ™s horrifying impact stems from the fact that it remains resolutely sombre and understated throughout. Now in their 30s, the duo talk frankly about their experiences, describing the activities Jackson allegedly carried out, starting from when they were seven and 11. The film walks step by step through their relationships with Jackson, and disarmingly, disturbingly, diligently avoids skimming over any details. The documentary, which premiered at Sundance earlier this year, gives a platform and voice to two men, James Safechuck and Wade Robson, who allege that Michael Jackson abused them when they were children. To say that Leaving Neverland is not an easy watch is an understatement.
