M-Net acquires Janet Jackson documentary
M-Net announced on its social media platforms that the globally acclaimed documentary on Janet Jackson will debut on the channel.
The four-part documentary starts on Thursday, 17 February, 21:30 on DStv channel 101. Episodes will be available on DStv Catch Up an hour after its broadcast.
“M-Net is very excited to bring the much-talked about Janet Jackson documentary to the African continent. It’s a never-seen-before all-encompassing coverage on her career journey and family. We know our viewers will be intrigued by the story,” Jan du Plessis, the channel director of M-Net channels, said.
About the documentary
As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of her very first album, this will be the definitive story of Jackson, one of the best-selling and highest-earning artists in music history. She has enjoyed immense success but also seen incredible tragedy. Endured a tumultuous private life in the face of extraordinary public scrutiny, she lifts the lid on her private life for the very first time and reveals the most intimate moments ever caught on camera, with no stone left unturned.
The four-hour documentary event joins Jackson as she travels back to her hometown of Gary, Indiana to see where her incredible journey began. Speaking like never-before, she discusses everything including her Superbowl appearance with Justin Timberlake in 2004, the controversy surrounding her brother Michael, and becoming a mother later in life.
The documentary will air as follows:
Thursday, 17 February, at 21:30 - Episode 1, ‘Baby Sister’:
At the age of seven, her father, tough-talking Joe Jackson, puts her to work in the family show. He never asked if she wanted to be a performer, so it’s down to her to find her own path.
Thursday, 24 February, at 21:30 - Episode 2, ‘Control’:
After two unsuccessful albums and a failed marriage, Jackson decides that if she’s going to have a musical career, it will be on her own terms; she has to take control of her life.
Thursday, 3 March, at 21:30 - Episode 3: ‘That’s the Way Love Goes’:
She signs multimillion-dollar sponsorship contracts, lands leading roles in feature films, and becomes a sex icon. But with the news of accusations about her brother Michael, her world comes crashing down.
Thursday, 10 March, at 21:30 - Episode 4: ‘Black Diamond’:
Following the nipplegate controversy, Jackson finds herself blacklisted. Refusing to accept defeat, friends and fans fight for her right to be recognised as a true performing legend.
