Michael Jackson biopic 'Michael' premieres

Directed by Antoine Fuqua, 'Michael' charts the life of the King of Pop from his early days with the Jackson 5 to his meteoric rise as a solo superstar.

While the film has been praised for its electrifying recreations of Jackson's live performances, it has also faced criticism for allegedly sanitizing the more controversial aspects of his personal life.

Family members, including Katherine and Taj Jackson, have publicly supported the project, asserting that it finally allows the family to control the narrative.

The movie's release comes amid a renewed global fascination with Jackson's legacy and ongoing debates about his impact on music and culture.
