If you want people to see it (and give it some 'credence' by being on a professional streaming service - not YouTube), you can't really beat Netflix given how widespread it is. They might have licensed Leaving Neverland in some countries, but they don't really have a hand in the 'Michael Jackson is guilty' bag like HBO would. After all, they've simultaneously licensed Moonwalker and This Is It in other countries.

to be honest i really do not like netflix. after all the stuff that has happen in the last few years i really don't wanna give my money to an company that promote somethings like pedophilia.
and let's be real most people not gonna buy a movie or doc until the price is reasonable. maybe i'm only person who does that, but yeah. the main people who gonna watch this are mj fans let's be real here taj really need to do better with this. don't make it about Michael being an superstar make it mostly about allegations.
sadly it have to be about them but at least it can put the whole thing to rest.

Even if you don’t support Netflix, more people do than any other streaming service and that’s the important thing, to get it out there so everyone sees it. I agree with you and some of the others about the allegations vs the superstar thing. Taj needs to tread carefully on how he portrays MJ because if he portrays him as the greatest person ever, a literal King by the sounds of his episode titles, those who are on the fence about the allegations might think this documentary is too biased towards MJ and distrust or turn off for the important segments - the allegations.

There's no denying how much Taj truly cares and for that I respect him regardless of how his documentary turns out.

The past 2 years I have purposely not shared some things with you guys because I didn’t want my personal problems to interfere or question your confidence in me and this project.
First, I have never lied about this project being one of the most important projects in my life. Nor have I ever lied about my love and dedication to it and my uncle. However, there are some personal stuff behind the scenes that I have had to deal with and it has definitely affected both my mental and physical health. I am doing much better now but I want to finally share 2 examples.
Ok, where do I start…
Last year my wife and I came face to face with the horrors of a miscarriage. I didn’t reveal it back then because we had no idea how to handle this loss. The effects were absolutely devastating for us.
That day, we went to my wife’s OB/GYN(doctor) to finally find out the gender of our new baby. It was suppose to be an exciting day. Instead we found out that our little precious baby no longer had a heartbeat. Nothing prepared us for that shock. I hid this pain well from you guys and the public. I still did many interviews regarding my uncle and livestreams after that painful day. You would have never known what happened.
Which brings me to my next situation…
Well two months ago I went to my doctor for the first time in nearly a decade. I knew I hadn’t been taking good care of myself and the results clearly showed.
Not only was my blood pressure and blood sugar super high, I also had some other health complications. Not to mention I was already 60 pounds overweight. Luckily everything was still fixable and not permanent. But I had a pretty decent health scare for awhile. So if I wasn’t as active on social media as I had been in the past, or didn’t answer or respond to your messages or comments, now you know why. I really had to focus on getting better and healthier…For my family, for the project, and for me.
Why am I telling all this.
Because it felt weird and hypocritical to be working on a series that humanizes my uncle by showing all the external crap and struggles he had to deal with, while at the same time I am hiding my own personal struggles and crap from you guys. I am also telling you this because I want you to fully understand that through out all this drama, my commitment to this project has never faltered. I have been constantly working and pushing things forward since I first put this Go Fund Me page up. Even with my hardships these years, I have always made time to fight for and defend my uncle’s legacy. And I will never stop that fight until everyone learns and knows the truth.
Am I frustrated about the speed at which this series is moving, of course I am. But I could have never predicted that a world wide pandemic would slow down things everywhere and last this long. So unfortunately we have to be patient.
That being said…There is no doubt in my mind that this series will be finished and distributed globally . I’m ready to hit the ground running once it’s safe to do so. I want to thank everyone for their continued support. Whether monetary support or emotional support, I am so thankful for my uncle’s defenders and advocates. This series will be executed in a way that will forever vindicate my uncle Michael once and for all. It will cement his legacy as not only the greatest entertainer that ever lived, but one of the greatest and kindest human beings to ever walk this planet. My uncle, Michael Jackson, deserves that.
Yes this series is a huge undertaking, but as I said before, your support makes this possible. I truly thank you guys for believing in this project and me. We are going to make a difference for many generations to come.
Shamone!
Taj

Oh man, that’s horrible. Really horrible. Something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy tbh. I hope Taj and his wife are doing better now, and that he’s taking better care of himself too. Appreciate him sharing all that, not easy to open up something so personal.

Not a bad interview with Taj, but it sounds like he's going down the conspiracy theory route in regards to Michael's passing.
I hope someone does remind him that Conrad Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and not second degree murder as he said in the interview. Preferably before he says it in his doco.
In regards to the miscarriage, I've been there so know what it's like to go through that. It can knock you for months.
