This Is It documents the final days of Michael Jackson doing what he loved-singing and dancing. His performances throughout are amazing, especially the signature dance moves, which are as impressive as ever. This release demonstrates that Michael Jackson is the epitome of one of the great entertainers of our time. The documentary is compiled from an estimated 80 hours of rehearsal and behind-the-scenes footage of the legendary entertainer preparing for his 50 sold-out shows at London's O2 Arena that were scheduled to commence in July 2009 before his untimely death in June at age 50. Interviews with collaborators and close friends of the late performer are featured. Michael Jackson is shown as a perfectionist, and a caring and loving man who recognizes talent and nurtures those who collaborate with him. This is an awesome tribute to the "King of Pop!" (Gary Reber)
