Moonwalker
''Moonwalker'' is a 1988 American experimental anthology musical film starring Michael Jackson.

The film is named after the dance technique known as the moonwalk, which Jackson was known for performing. Summary The film's segments are connected by an underlying but overall narrative meant to represent the different stages in Jackson's career and were based on his own view of how his fans idolized him rather than listening to the messages he wanted to say with his music. "Man in the Mirror" The first segment of Moonwalker is a live performance of "Man in the Mirror" during his Bad World Tour in Europe and America. Clips from Met Center in Minneapolis among others can be seen. It also features a montage of clips of children in Africa, Martin Luther K ...
