This Is It
Imagine making a feature film out of footage that was never meant to be shown publicly. That’s the monumental task that faced Kenny Ortega, MJ’s collaborator on the This Is It concerts that never were; 50 shows set to kick off in London, England in July, meant to be the final concerts for the almost 50 year old Jackson. …
