Surviving R. Kelly Part II: The Reckoning

Celebrated as one of the greatest R&B singers of all time, R. Kelly’s genre-defining career and playboy lifestyle has been riddled with rumors of abuse, predatory behaviour, and paedophilia. The original, groundbreaking documentary-series Surviving R.Kelly was based on the theme of ‘hiding in plain sight’. Kelly's music itself often acted as a near confession to the constant rumours that were circulating. Surviving R.Kelly: The Reckoning will continue to tell the story with a three-day special. Following the release of Surviving R.Kelly and follow up documentary, Surviving R.Kelly: The Impact, the world has been shattered by our survivors' stories, with people around the globe rallying around them as everyone calls for justice. With recent developments in the case, new tapes surfacing, and a possible arrest, the present-day investigations will be the spine of the new documentary special. But in order to understand what's currently at stake, we'll dive deeper than ever before as to how R.Kelly escaped previous trials and into larger, intellectual themes that surrounded the case both then & now.
