Jackson considers documentary

Michael Jackson hopes to repair his tattered public image with a documentary.

Although the singer was acquitted of multiple counts of child molestation earlier this month, for many of the public his reputation is still tarnished by the very existence of the claims.

In a bid to set the record straight, Jackson has been to France to organise a documentary with film-maker Mark Stewart.

A source told the Daily Express: "They bumped into each other purely by chance.

"Michael has made no secret of his plans to rebuild his career and repair his image with a documentary.

"Mark was astounded to learn that Michael was aware of his work and had seen one of the films. The impromptu meeting went very well and it is hoped that something positive will come of it."

Jackson had hoped that Martin Bashir's documentary Living With Michael Jackson would help to rejuvenate his career, though in fact it prompted the investigations leading to his recent trial.
