Leaving Neverland: Can one explosive film deliver the fatal blow to Michael Jackson's legacy?

Every Monday, the q screen panel convenes to look at the biggest stories happening in the worlds of film, television and streaming entertainment. Today, arts writer Tina Hassannia and filmmaker Charles Officer join Tom Power to discuss Leaving Neverland, HBO's new four-hour documentary about Michael Jackson.

The film details the accounts of two men who say they were sexually abused by Jackson when they were children. Jackson's estate denies all of the accusations.

Despite a $100-million US lawsuit filed by the Jackson estate to prevent the film from getting an audience, HBO went ahead with the broadcast on Sunday night, with part two airing tonight. It will be followed by an interview with the two men and the film's director, hosted by Oprah Winfrey. 

Our screen panelists, Hassannia and Officer, have watched the entire documentary. They share their thoughts on the ethics and legality of the film and talk about how we incorporate these stories into our understanding of a cultural icon.
