Thirty years ago, Michael Jackson and Spike Lee made one of the riskiest and most unforgettable videos of the 1990s. They took They Don't Care About Us, one of Jackson's angriest, most confrontational songs, and filmed it in Brazil amid official outrage, legal battles, and long-running reports that the crew had to negotiate access to a Rio favela controlled by traffickers. What came out of that gamble was way more than a hit short film.
It was one of Jackson's forays into Latin America and an adventure that comes full circle with the movie MICHAEL, with one of his Latino nephews, Jaafar Jackson, as the King of Pop.
