A documentary, "Michael Jackson: This Is It,” by American director Kenny Ortega will be released in Russia on October 29.
This is going to be a true happening for Russian fans of the pop king, as he has a massive following in this country. Hundreds of Russians were among his fans throughout the world who attended "Thriller" zombie dances on Jackson’s birthday.
