The Jacksons Are Coming
About the programme
Film-maker Jane Preston gained unprecedented access for this Cutting Edge film as she follows assorted members of the family as they leave Hayvenhurst, the family enclave in LA, to search for a home in Appledore, a fishing village on the north Devon coast.
How do the folk of Appledore cope with their new famous neighbours and the world's media? And when the dream turns sour for the Jackson family how will a ten-year family friendship survive?
The Jacksons Are Coming is a revealing film about celebrity life; what begins as a behind-the-scenes venture soon uncovers a surprising story of trust and betrayal while providing an intimate snapshot of one of the world's most famous families in showbiz.
