While most of the world swoons over Michael Jackson’s final film This Is It, some of his most diehard fans are not as excited.
According to a group of fans from at least 10 countries who have started an “awareness” campaign following Jackson’s death, they say This Is It covers up the grim reality of the pop star’s final days and conceals the “dire state” of his health while enriching its promoters that they hold partly responsible for his death on June 25. “In the weeks leading up to Michael Jackson’s death, while this footage was being shot, people around him knew that he looked like he might have died. Those who stood to make a profit chose to ignore it,” the group said on its website www.this-is-not-it.com. “The movie is made of a careful choice of footage taken during Michael Jackson’s last rehearsals for the “This is It” Tour. Out of 110 hours of footage, a few scenes were selected in which Michael Jackson smiled and showed that, in spite of being in a dire state, he was still the greatest star in the world.”
Kenny Ortega, who directed This Is It and also choreographed the concert rehearsals, said he saw no signs of drug dependency in Jackson, that the singer was excited to be performing and that the film was not intended to make a profit. Ortega also said the movie is a “musical mosaic…that I think will help the fans come to appreciate and understand what Michael was putting into “This Is It”, what his dreams were for it, what his goals were for it. It is a story of a master of his craft, a great genius in his final theatrical work and creative process.”
Fans from this-is-not-it.com have posted this video on their site to bring to light what they call “the truth.” But you decide. WATCH:

Their cause and video are pretty interesting. And now RnB producer Teddy Riley has come forward and joined LaToya Jackson to say he believes Michael was murdered. Wassup?
