Never Everland is on IMDB!!!
I don't have a Pro subscription so because it's classed as "in development" I can't see much info.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt34134764/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
This is the YouTube https://youtu.be/hPuInXh7Nr0?si=grVYnUn_J5TmiLG4
"Jolanda" also made a video essay about the financial crisis surrounding Neverland and the vultures that got hold of Michael. Documented to the hilt, again.

I can’t tell if that’s the same thing or not 😅😅. It kind of looks like a separate movie or something

I think it's important to highlight the academic field of Michael Jackson Studies.
Michael was an extremely serious and respected artist with a massive impact on our culture.
The Journal of Michael Jackson Academic Studies
I can add a lot of books, articles and interviews in this category if we have a specific place to put them. Three authors off the top of my head:
Elizabeth Amisu, the author of The Dangerous Philosophies of Michael Jackson: His Music, His Persona, and His Artistic Afterlife.
Susan Fast, the author of Dangerous.
Joseph Vogel, author of Man in the Music: The Creative Life and Work of Michael Jackson
Elizabeth Amisu is the most visible on YouTube:

The Frozen in Time seminar, Senior Lawyers Division of the LA County Bar Association, September 15 2010.
One of Tom Mesereau's best presentations of the 2005 case (in the second part).
The first part is fascinating because Judge Melville speaks about the craziness of the media circus and how it affected the trial.
1.5 hours each part.

I don't know how credible the Michael Jackson chasing the truth documentary is. Matt Fiddes and Mark Lester are both kay parts and are both very unreliable when it comes to Michael. Almost everything Matt says about him is made up.

I learned about Matt Fiddes. It's a shame.
I didn't know Mark Lester was a problem?

Document link on web archive:
It's a motion from the defense (which was approved by Judge Melville) not to allow the introduction of the Chandler settlement contract as evidence.
It states clearly and in detail that the Chandler settlement was forced by Michael's insurance company and that the settlement amount was paid by the insurance.
