Michael Jackson unreleased documentary footage

Overview

Unreleased archival footage from a shelved 2001 documentary project featuring Michael Jackson has resurfaced. Produced by Marc Schaffel, the material was originally intended for a reality series but was halted following the 2003 police raid on Jackson’s Neverland Ranch.

The footage captures Jackson at the height of his fame, including visits to his childhood home in Gary, Indiana. It also features a 19-year-old Beyoncé, then a member of Destiny’s Child, participating in the recording of the “What More Can I Give” charity project. In the clips, Beyoncé is seen interacting with Jackson and discussing potential collaborations.

Schaffel, who filmed extensive material between 2000 and 2003, has expressed interest in compiling the archives into a documentary for a streaming service.
