A group of Michael Jackson fans during the 2004-05 trial

WE ARE THE CHILDREN is a documentary film that dives deep inside the world of a group of Michael Jackson fans during the 2004-05 trial. The story delves beyond the tabloidesque media coverage of the crazy fan to uncover the human faces of the dedicated supporter. Following a group of California fans from dance parties on Hollywood Blvd to court proceedings in Santa Maria, and vigils at Neverland, WE ARE THE CHILDREN brings some three-dimensionality to people often written off as humorous freaks. The nonjudgmental, unflinching eye of the camera documents fan club gatherings, music collections and impersonators, as fans tell personal tales of inspiration about the King of Pop.

Poor MJ, what a tragedy that he died so young. This is a very interesting film I had no idea how dedicated his fans were.

Thank You to all the fans, for supporting, loving and believing in Michael Jackson. I always believed that he was innocent, his face, his spirit, his whole attitude, tells you how innocent he is....
I just believe when the media and the news paper wan’t to make money....not only they reverse...they make everything sound so so bad where everyone can run and buy their news paper or magazine, so in this way, they can make a lots of money, otherwise how do you tink they make money?? by ruining other peoples life.
well this country is all about making money right? and we all know that..... thats why he was accused, is obvious, only for his money what else????? VIVA THE FANS WE WILL KEEP MICHAEL JACKSON LIVE. I love you MichaelJ, and I love you all fans, lets keep M.J. live God Bless
