anyone have any stories on the reasons why that direction was chosen? was it by micheal, did he realize the effect it had on the people? etc?

it brings me to tears everytime i watch it. it's aweful the way people are treated there...

anyways, thanks in advance...

mj was an inspiration. i don't care who you are, there is no way his talent can be ignored.
