Despite being a strong advocate of the presumption of innocence, I was willing to believe that the allegations were credible and the documentary devastating given its wide approval by the first viewers and critics. In my mind, he had been acquitted and there was no particular reason to question court decisions… until Januas Leaving Neverland dropped as a bombshell at the Sundance Festival. I came to appreciate both the person and the artist, without considering myself as a fan of his music or digging deep into the allegation. My curiosity was piqued much later, around the celebrations of its 60 th anniversary. In the years following his death, he remained a mysterious character whose I listened to the most emblematic hits on the radio. Besides the baby-dangling incident, the polemics regarding his alleged pedophilia and the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death, I didn’t know much about the man, the extent of his artistic legacy and even less his humanitarian work. Not having grown up worshipping his music, I hardly remember this day that was not so peculiar in my young life.
