Explanation for Why the Crowdfunding Campaign for Michael Jackson's New Documentary Was Stopped
You may have read about the new documentary "In Memory of Michael" being produced by Katherine Jackson. Katherine Jackson had planned to fund this documentary through fan donations. This initiative met with disapproval from the Michael Jackson Estate, who issued a statement expressing their dissatisfaction with the idea. After some time, the crowdfunding campaign was halted.
A spokesperson for the film has recently provided an explanation as to why the funding campaign was stopped. The spokesperson stated that Michael's fans had misunderstood the purpose of the campaign, and so Katherine decided to stop it. Some fans had claimed that Katherine was trying to profit from her son's name.
The spokesperson stated that all money paid by people was fully refunded to their accounts, and the over two thousand dollars that had been collected was returned to the sixty credit card holders who had contributed.
The documentary's producer has stated that Mrs. Jackson wants to show through this documentary a side of Michael's personality that no one has ever seen. The producer added that Mrs. Jackson has other funding options available, including signing deals with international distributors and American television networks.
