«In the “Bad” project I have the possibility to reflect the enormous importance of the album, the stories that surrounded its elaboration, the short films and the tour, of which nothing had ever been published until today ”, comments Spike Lee, who also advances on the documentary: "We have footage in this documentary that no one has ever seen, material that Michael himself shot"
