The story of The Jacksons, the most successful musical family in history, is the stuff of which dreams are made. In 1992, the four-hour ABC miniseries The Jacksons: An American Dream chronicled the rags-to-riches tale of that Gary, Indiana family who conquered the music world. Now this Emmy Award-winning production starring Oscar- nominated Angela Bassett, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, Vanessa Williams and Billy Dee Williams premieres on DVD.
The Jacksons: An American Dream (Motown/UME), released December 11, 2001, is presented in a two-disc DVD package. With Michael Jackson's Invincible album debuting at #1 in early November, the broadcast of this fall's Madison Square Garden reunion of The Jackson 5, the re-release of the complete J-5 Motown catalog on special two-fer packages, and the miniseries' recent rebroadcast on VH1's ``Movies That Rock,'' The Jacksons: An American Dream is a DVD dream come true for fans of Michael, Janet and the rest of the Jacksons. Lending new life to this docu-drama and its original VHS release, The Jacksons: An American Dream features completely remastered visuals and audio.
