I am going to see a movie at the London Film Festival this week that is so relevant to MJ and the trials.
Read below and tell me if you feel the same:

Remember what MJ always said: 'The more you hear something repeated, the more you believe it'.
In fact I once studied this in my Psychology A Level and some studies found that even when a story was repeated as being false, it still tended to be believed more in general!
Anyway thought this would be of interest to some other fans. Not sure when the movie is out in the UK as it's a foreign film, but I can't wait to see it.
Read below and tell me if you feel the same:
THE HUNT is a powerful and disturbing depiction of how quickly a lie can become the truth when gossip, doubt and malice are allowed to flourish.
Following a tough divorce, 40-year-old Lucas is starting to pull his life back together again. He has a new girlfriend, a new job, and is in the process of re-establishing his relationship with his teenage son Marcus. However one passing remark threatens Lucas's newfound stability. One of the children he looks after at the nursery where he works, a little girl with a vivid imagination, tells a random lie which is impossible to ignore. Her allegation spreads like a virus, quickly acquiring the veneer of truth the more it is told. As shock turns to mistrust and then malice, it doesn't take long before this small community is in a collective state of hysteria, igniting a witch-hunt that threatens to destroy an innocent man's life.
