Michael Jackson Story Unmasked, The Page #4

---

outside of the courtroom.

When trial began, hoards of Michael supporters

held vigil for their hero,

outside of the courthouse.

When Michael arrived at court

he jumped on top of his SUV

and began dancing.

After two months,

the prosecution rested its

case against Michael Jackson.

On June 13, 2005 Michael was found not guilty

and completely cleared of all charges.

His fame wildly celebrated his acquittal.

I would like to thank the fans around the world.

Can you speak up please?

I would like to thank the fans around the world

for your love and your support

from every corner of the earth.

My family who've been very supportive,

my brother Randy who's been incredible.

I want to thank the community of Santa Maria.

I want you to know that I love

the community of Santa Maria

very much, it's my community.

I love the people.

I will always love the people.

My children were born in this community,

my home is in this community.

I will always love this community

from the bottom of my heart,

that's why i moved here.

Thank you very much.

Long after the headlines died,

thousands of celebrity watchers and pop music fans

continue their obsession

with this charismatic star,

but after restless,

but reclusive wanderings

in the deserts of Bahrain,

Ireland, England and France,

where will Michael go next?

It is my pleasure;

it is my honour to be here in south Africa.

I love you people very much.

I've had the time of my life here;

I've had so much fun.

I hate to leave and I'm definitely

looking for a, a home here to buy

and i would love to spend

the rest of my life here.

And we're definitely coming in January

and this is a wonderful, lovely man

and i love Nelson Mandela very much.

thank you for all your hospitality

and all your love.

Thank you very much.

Welcome Michael Jackson and Urie Geller

to the pitch of exodus city football club.

Michael why did you want to come and visit us?

why did you want to come and visit us?

Because i can.

Now there's a good answer,

he's a politician as well.

Do i need to educate you as well

about this whole incredible team?

He knows more about Guy Fawks than rugby.

he was the guy that blew up

the house of the prom wasn't he?

He certainly did.

But why is that a celebration?

Well we celebrate the fact

that he didn't succeed?

Okay, thank you, bye everybody.

What are you hoping to see here?

Pardon?

What are you hoping to see here?

Gee i don't know, i haven't been in yet.

Throughout his career,

Michael Jackson has always found time

to dedicate himself to a vast array

of charitable organisations

Are we blind to the fact that our children

are raging against the indifference,

crying out against the abandonment

of thundering against the neglect.

Heal The Kids is about doing something about

making a difference to help

in trying to help adults

and parents realise that it is our power

to change the world that our children live in.

(Voice of Iman Bowie)

What inpires me about Michael is

that his humanitarian efforts.

I mean, somebody like me,

whose my work in Somalia just brought me

to the fringe of what's happened in that country.

I mean, as a humanitarian,

we don't have a better spokesperson

for Heal the World,

Like Michael Jackson.

I'm shocked and inspired

by him as a humanitarian.

I cannot say more about that.

Heal the World became one of

the best selling singles of all time.

In 1995 Heal the World would become

the title of Michaels charity,

raising millions for worthy causes

and Michael continues to strive to

improve the lives of children everywhere.

One of these was a young boy named Ryan.

who was diagnosed with the AIDs virus.

(voice of Jean White)

I saw a very sincere Michael and somebody that...

it, it's strange,

after Ryan died i asked Michael,

I said, well what is it that connected

you to Ryan and he said,

well most People can't get

over the awe of who i am,

So nobody can ever act normal around me.

He said, Ryan knew how i wanted to be treated,

because that's how he wanted to be treated.

Ryan spend five days with Michael in 1990,

right his death Ryan was so worried

about being a burden to Michael,

because he could hardly walk,

he was very ill and they did a lot of fun things.

And the first night i said

well what did you do?

And he said, well we spent three hours

watching three stooges movies.

I mean this was something that...

Ryan loved comedy, so does Michael.

They went shopping and i said, you know,

who drove and he said,

well Michael drove the Bentley.

And i said, Michael drove himself?

And he said, yeah, me and Michael went shopping.

With Ryan's death, it's, it's very, very hard.

I have formed the Ryan White Foundation

dealing with adolescents,

dealing with all kinds of adolescents

whether you have AIDs,

whether you don't have AIDs,

whether your parents had AIDs,

whether your siblings have AIDs.

So i keep active doing the things

that Ryan was doing and educating

young people about AIDs.

Perhaps more than any other icon

in the history of popular music.

Michael Jackson remains a charismatic

but elusive figure of heated debate,

but one fact will forever remain undisputed,

his extraordinary talent for

creating truly original music,

Loved by millions.

And despite set backs that would

have ended careers of lesser men.

Michael Jackson's legion of fans remain

as loyal today as they've ever been.

His accomplishments as the

king of pop during the 1980s

will always remain some of the

most impressive in music history.
