The director behind the explosive Michael Jackson documentary Leaving Neverland is set to speak in Edinburgh.
Director Dan Reed stood by the allegations of sexual abuse made against Jackson in the two-part documentary, which aired on Channel 4 earlier this month.
He will appear in the capital at the Edinburgh TV Festival in August to discuss the documentary.

Robson, 36, says the abuse with the singer began from age of seven after he won a dance competition to meet his idol.
Meanwhile, Safechuck, 40, claims he started being molested by Jackson at the age of eight after meeting on set of a Pepsi commercial, until he was 14.
Jackson even staged a fake wedding where they committed to each other with rings, James claims. In the documentary, his hands shake as he looks at a box full of jewelery that Jackson allegedly gifted him in return for sexual favours.
“It’s still hard for me to not blame myself,” he says.

Director Dan said he Michael's alleged actions 'repugnant' and has revealed that he would make a sequel to the doc if any more of Michael Jackson’s alleged victims came forward.
He told Vice magazine: “We wanted to focus on James and Wade and their families, who had long relationships with Jackson. I’m sure there are others who will come out when the time is right for them. We’ll see.”
The Edinburgh TV Festival runs in the capital between August 21 and 23.
