Documentary highlights Jackson Five members

A new documentary featuring four members of the Jackson Five—Jackie, Jermaine, Tito, and Marlon Jackson—is currently in production. The film will bring the brothers together on screen for the first time in a 90-minute project, which will also be released as a three-part series.

Benjamin Hirsch directs the film

The documentary is directed by Benjamin Hirsch, who previously worked on a documentary series about Janet Jackson that aired in 2022. The film aims to chronicle the brothers’ journey as part of one of the most popular and influential boy bands in history, from their early days in Gary, Indiana, to their rise to fame and the separate paths they later took.

Includes Tito Jackson’s final interview

The documentary will feature the last interview given by Tito Jackson before his death in 2024. It will also incorporate rare archival footage and previously unseen material, offering a unique look into the group’s history and personal experiences.

Focus on family dynamics and influences

The film will explore the influence of their father, Joe Jackson, whose strict training methods shaped the group’s early development. The brothers recall differing memories of their early rehearsals, including the pressure they faced, the competition among them, and the moments of joy and connection they shared.

Highlights role of mother Katherine

The documentary also emphasizes the role of their mother, Katherine Jackson, who was central to managing the family’s career. Her presence and influence are highlighted as a key element in the story of the Jackson Five’s rise to fame.
