Go behind the scenes on Michael Jackson’s culturally influential Bad album and his first solo world tour with BAD25-the Spike Lee directed documentary that celebrates the 25th anniversary of the phenomenon.
Twenty-five years after Michael Jackson’s visionary Bad album and tour left an indelible mark on pop culture, the full 2-hour version of BAD25 takes you back inside the recording sessions, film shoots and sold-out stadiums for an intimate look at the King of Pop’s creative genius. Poignant and candid, Spike Lee directed a documentary that goes beyond paying homage to the record-setting album featuring such iconic songs as “Bad” and “Man In the Mirror.” Using never-seen footage and candid interviews with subjects ranging from Martin Scorsese to Kanye West, Lee chronicles what became not only a watershed moment in Michael Jackson’s growth as an artist but in popular music as well. The New York Times called BAD25 “filled with oh-wow moments,” while Time lauded the film as “an intimate view of a performer at his peak in the intense splendor of creativity.”
