It was brilliant to be in conversation with Tom Anstiss, Executive Producer & Showrunner of the compelling 4-part docu-series 'Michael Jackson: The Trial', a @Wonderhood Studios and Channel 4 production, last week.
Tom shared fascinating behind-the-scenes insights into crafting such a complex, multifaceted documentary series. We explored what it really takes to tackle a story of this magnitude, touching on everything from the legal and ethical complexities of the subject matter to building a narrative that is both rigorous and compelling.
A huge focus of the discussion was the process of unearthing key contributors, the lawyers, witnesses, journalists and experts who bring depth and credibility to the series, and how the team ensured that a full, nuanced account of the trial and its wider context was represented on screen.
Catch up on the full session to discover:
> How to approach sensitive, high-profile subject matter with creativity and integrity
> What it takes to produce an ambitious, evidence-led documentary series
> How to find and feature the voices that matter most
> Ways to honour the complexity of a story while keeping the storytelling fresh and accessible
If you're passionate about true crime, legal documentaries, or premium factual storytelling, this masterclass is packed with insight and practical knowledge.
