4PM: DOCUMENTARY - One morning, a television set broke down in a living room in Gary, Indiana, leaving a large family of children with nothing to do, so they started singing. Soon the family was singing at talent shows and winning trophies. Their first four recorded songs would top the charts, and launch the career of one of the greatest entertainers the world has ever known. Spike Lee’s JOURNEY FROM MOTOWN TO OFF THE WALL (2016, 93 min) chronicles Michael Jackson’s early career. This is mainly a doc of talking heads, but when they have the faces of Stevie Wonder, Pharrell Williams, producers Mark Ronson and Rodney Jerkins, film director Lee Daniels and Michael Jackson's own mother, it's spellbinding.
