The movie premiered at 3am on Wednesday morning in South Africa, part of eighteen simultaneous premieres on five continents that launched a two-week release of 'This Is It', a portrait of Jackson preparing for the London concerts due to have begun just weeks after his sudden death in June 2009. More than 100 hours of behind-the-scenes footage for Jackson's aborted return to the stage have been distilled into a two-hour film, which has been hyped by organisers as the last-ever performance by the 'King of Pop'. Despite the anticipation surrounding the film, a group of diehard Jackson fans have launched an online campaign urging devotees of the singer to boycott the movie, claiming it hides the truth about his final days. The group claims on its website - 'This-Is-Not-It' - that the movie attempts to mask Jackson's physical frailty as he maintained a punishing schedule of rehearsals.
