"On the documentary side, Sundance will premiere the first of Spike Lee’s planned docu trilogy about the King of Pop: Michael Jackson’s Journey from Motown to Off the Wall. “Michael Jackson is one of the most iconic stars of the last 50 years. And yet, he has such a tricky reputation now,” says Groth. “The film focuses on his drive and commitment. What a hard worker he was, not just on how talented he was. It looks at when he transitioned from the Jackson Five into a solo career. For fans, I think it’s going to play through the roof. And for not fans, they’re going to be fascinated."
