The four-hour HBO documentary “Leaving Neverland” has caused a stir after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival over the weekend. It presents, in excruciating detail, the claims of two men who say they were sexually abused by Michael Jackson when they were ages 7 and 10. The movie is apparently so disturbing that mental health counselors were at the theater when it screened at Sundance. After the screening, Michael Jackson’s family denounced the film and called it a “public lynching.”
