The MICHAEL movie returned home to Gary, Indiana, and to the birth home of The Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson, with a visit from the film’s stars, executive producers, and members of the Jackson family.
Star Jaafar Jackson, producer Graham King, Michael’s son and executive producer Prince Jackson, along with Jackson brothers and executive producers Jackie Jackson, Marlon Jackson, and Jermaine Jackson, and Mayor Eddie Melton of the City of Gary, all visited the Jackson Family Home located at 2300 Jackson St. in Gary. It was a homecoming for the Jackson brothers, who reminisced on growing up there and seeing Jaafar continue Michael’s legacy through his role in the film. The group toured the home and took pictures in its iconic rooms, taking time to speak with the local community and neighbors who came to witness the reunion.

MICHAEL is the cinematic portrayal of the life and legacy of one of the most influential artists the world has ever known. The film tells the story of Michael Jackson’s life beyond the music, tracing his journey from the discovery of his extraordinary talent as the lead of the Jackson Five, to the visionary artist whose creative ambition fueled a relentless pursuit to become the biggest entertainer in the world. Highlighting both his life off-stage and some of the most iconic performances from his early solo career, the film gives audiences a front-row seat to Michael Jackson as never before. This is where his story begins.
