UNRELEASED JACKSON FIVE FILM MAY SEE LIGHT OF DAY

A 1974 documentary about the Jackson 5's visit to Senegal and their performances there may finally come to theaters, the New York Post reported Sunday. The film, Jackson 5 in Africa , was financed by a group of African investors, who shelved it after running out of money, the newspaper said. A source told the Post , "With Michael's tragic passing, we requested permission to do a public screening, and the owner -- an international businessman who wants to remain anonymous -- agreed." It is due to be screened first at the National Black Theater in Harlem on July 14. Fuzzy clips from the film have been available on YouTube for several months.
