Bad 25

A single anniversary sparks a global re-examination. In 2012, marking 25 years since the release of Michael Jackson's landmark album "Bad," this documentary pulls back the curtain on a transformative era. Director Spike Lee compiles electrifying rehearsal footage, intimate home videos, and candid interviews with the collaborators who were there. The film dissects the creation of iconic hits and the immense pressure of following "Thriller," painting a portrait of an artist at the peak of his creative powers, relentlessly pushing boundaries. This 2012 music documentary is a raw, celebratory, and deeply human look at the making of a pop masterpiece.
