This documentary is totally positive. Here are the points that Larry makes, if anyone is interested:
--Everyone loves a sensational trial, especially if celebrities are involved. The media can easily manipulate and twist things around by providing one-sided footage and brief soundbites to sum up a day in court. The more sensational a story, the more it sells.
--Larry wasn't sure what to believe about Michael when he started filming at the ranch. All he knew of him was his musical career, his controversies, and rumored eccentricities. He was given full access to the entire ranch, with the exception of Michael's dance and recording studio, private office, and the kids' bedrooms.
--Michael was one of the most famous people in the world, but was isolated and lonely. He had a rough childhood and was desperate for friends, but had trouble finding people who would love him for who he was inside and not for his celebrity and fame.
--Tom Mesereau and Paul Rodriguez (jury foreman) voice their opinions that Martin Bashir manipulated Michael and deliberately led him into a trap of saying things that were controversial and would show him in a light that Bashir already viewed him in.
--The story of Gavin and how his friendship with Michael came to be, Gavin's subsequent recovery from stage 4 terminal cancer and the family's initial gratitude to Michael for taking them in and caring about them.
--Gavin and his siblings' misbehavior at the ranch, Michael distancing himself from them, and Janet contacting Larry Feldman, who then contacted the psychologist from '93, and then Tom Sneddon.
--Janet Arviso's past litigation with J.C. Penney, the family's history of trying to grift celebrities, and the fact that the boys lied under oath in the J.C. Penney case
--The Arvisos' claim that their rebuttal video was scripted, even though their easy-going demeanor and joking during the filming of that video clearly proves otherwise.
--Video of Gavin talking about his molestation with the sheriffs is shown. It is noted that Gavin doesn't seem to be nervous or upset about this, and that the sheriffs appear to be guiding him toward certain answers that they want to hear.
--Rodriguez and Mesereau talk about Tom Sneddon and their opinions that he had an axe to grind with Michael because he couldn't nail him in '93. A good point is made about the Arvisos and the sheriffs enabling each other in this case.
--Janet and Gavin claimed that they were held hostage at the ranch and were not allowed to ever know what time it was, but there were clocks all over the ranch and within view of most buildings, and Janet had taken a bunch of trips to a salon during that time, and never tried to get help.
--The '93 case was a result of Evan Chandler wanting revenge because Michael wouldn't fund his screenwriting aspirations. Geraldine Hughes, who wrote a book about that case, was a paralegal for Larry Feldman and says that she witnessed Michael being set up. The fact that Michael settled with them out of court provided leverage for others to make claims so that they could get a payday as well.
--Michael was only guilty of childlike innocence and bad judgment.
The end of the film is updated to include Michael's passing and Paris's speech at his memorial.
The clips used in the film are all kind of spliced together--footage from "Living With Michael Jackson," the rooms at Neverland, Michael's songs, the sheriff's video, outside shots of Neverland, etc. The raid footage is included in the extras, but doesn't actually show them ransacking or tearing anything apart in the house--it just shows them arriving on the property and talking to the employees about why they're there.
Oh, and for the person asking about books, you can't really see from the footage what titles are in the library--the camera isn't close enough.
