Living with Michael Jackson is a Granada Television documentary, in which British journalist Martin Bashir interviewed Michael Jackson over a span of 8 months, from May 2002 to January 2003. It was shown first in the UK on ITV (as a Tonight special) on 3 February 2003 and in the US three days later on ABC, introduced by Barbara Walters.
Martin Bashir put the proposal to Jackson as a way to show the world the truth about him and “make nothing off limits.” Jackson’s decision to make the documentary was made on a suggestion by his close friend Uri Geller. It later emerged that Geller had turned down another ‘bid’ for the interview by journalist Louis Theroux. The interview was very unusual, as it had been extremely rare for Jackson to allow such access to his personal life, or to talk so freely about his traumatic childhood. Nevertheless, he did show some reserve when asked to discuss other personal issues, such as the plastic surgery he had allegedly had. The documentary contained much commentary of Mr. Bashir which was very critical of Jackson.

In this interview of Michael Jackson I’ve have seen Michael in a way that one cannot when only bits and pieces of what he said is seen. Michael’s ideas here are fully expresses and he is a sound realist, who is easy to appreciate, understand and respect. In fact, the more I learn about this man, the more I see that he expresses remarkabe intellect, spirtual truth and a world view that makes him ordinary except for the fact that he appreciates mastering knowlege in whatever he’s involved in. But I share his beliefs.

MICHAEL appears very sensitive person in this video.I don’t think he was able to have sexual relations with a child,all the stuff against him were rubbish,garbage.He was really like a child,he was a good person and does’t deserve that some people treated him in a bad way.I love everything of him,because there was ,there is and there will be only one MICHAEL JACKSON.He was kind in every sense of the word.
