King Of Pop: Exploring Michael Jackson's Artistry

Documentary of the Week | Feb 5, 2016

In “Michael Jackson’s Journey From Motown to Off the Wall,” director Spike Lee taps into rich archival footage to document the rise of the King of Pop. New interviews with Questlove, Stevie Wonder and others supply a lively history of hits like “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough” and “Rock With You.” The urge to dance while watching may prove irresistible.
