Living with Michael Jackson is a television documentary in which British journalist Martin Bashir interviewed American singer Michael Jackson from May 2002 to January 2003. It was broadcast in the United Kingdom on ITV (as a Tonight with Trevor McDonald special) on 3 February 2003, and in the United States three days later on ABC, introduced by Barbara Walters.[1] Jackson took Bashir on a tour of his home, Neverland Ranch, and discussed his family, unhappy childhood, plastic surgery and relationships with children.
In November 2003, the BBC aired Louis, Martin & Michael, a documentary by British filmmaker Louis Theroux, who had lost out to Bashir to make the documentary.[2] The following month, following controversy raised from Bashir's documentary, Jackson was charged with seven counts of child molestation and two counts of intoxicating a minor with alcohol,[3] all of which he was acquitted of in a court of law in June 2005.[4]
