Was hij de gewiekste manager die zijn zoon tot wereldster maakte of de tirannieke vader die hem brak? De biografische film ‘Michael’ over Michael Jackson duikt in de getroebleerde relatie tussen de ‘King of Pop’ en zijn vader Joseph ‘Joe’ Jackson. Onder Joes verstikkende controle bereikten al zijn kinderen de top, maar achter de roem schuilde een jeugd vol angst, druk en blijvende littekens. “Hij zat tijdens de repetities met een riem in zijn hand, klaar om uit te halen.”
Joe Jackson, the man who pushed son Michael Jackson to the top with an iron hand: “He brought them unseen power, but also deep pain”
