SHOWTIME has released a first look at Oscar® nominee Spike Lee’s latest documentary MICHAEL JACKSON’S JOURNEY FROM MOTOWN TO OFF THE WALL.
An illuminating portrait on how an earnest, passionate, hard-working young man becomes the “King of Pop,” the film will make its world television premiere on Friday, February 5th at 9 p.m ET/PT on SHOWTIME, with multiple plays throughout the month on-air, on demand and over the internet.
The doc focuses on a rarely examined chapter of Jackson’s career as he evolves from the lead singer of Jackson 5 to a solo artist recording what will become his breakthrough, seminal 1979 pop record, Off The Wall. Audiences will travel with the global superstar as he strikes a new path with CBS Records, first with his brothers as The Jacksons and then stepping out on his own to create his own music with his own team.
