The Trial focuses on the period surrounding the 2005 trial, in which Michael Jackson stood trial for the alleged abuse of Gavin Arvizo at his Neverland estate. Although a jury ultimately acquitted him, the reputational damage was enormous. Four years later, he died from the effects of an overdose. With new testimonies and never-before-seen footage, it paints a dark portrait of an artist who remains an icon for many, but whose legacy is once again under a magnifying glass.
