  Jacko's own film hits back at 'unfair' Bashir
Updated 21 February 2003, 14.02
Michael Jackson
Pop King Michael Jackson has released his own version of a documentary which he said treated him unfairly.

The first documentary, called Living With Michael Jackson, was shown in the UK on 3 February. Jackson claims that it shows him in a bad light.

It showed Martin Bashir, who made the programme, suggesting Michael was a bad father and saying that Michael's Neverland ranch is dangerous for vulnerable children.

But while Bashir was filming, Jackson had his own crew filming the journalist.

And he used that film to show Bashir saying the opposite of what was in the original documentary.

The Michael Jackson Interview: The Footage You Were Never Meant To See was shown on Fox in the US on Thursday.

Bashir's praise

It shows Bashir praising Michael's skills as a parent as "natural," "loving" and "caring," and calling Neverland an "incredible" place.

Some people think that seeing Bashir saying two completely different different things means it looks like he can't be trusted.

Fox say that they were given full control over the new film, and Jackson had no input.

Did you see Jacko's new documentary? Who came out of it best Jacko or Bashir, or are they as bad as each other?
