THE NEW YORK TIMES PRESENTS: MALFUNCTION: THE DRESSING DOWN OF JANET JACKSON: FX ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY
TRAILER
In 2004, a culture war was brewing when the Super Bowl halftime show audience saw a white man expose a Black woman's breast for 9/16ths of a second. A national furor ensued. The woman was Janet Jackson, and her career was never the same.
"Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson" features rare footage and interviews with several people who were at the controls that night in Houston -- including N.F.L. and MTV executives -- to reconstruct an incident that shook the country and explain how it shaped culture in the decades to follow. With new reporting by The Times, as well as insights from music industry insiders, cultural critics and members of the Jackson family, the film illuminates the extraordinary fallout, CBS executive Les Moonves's role and Justin Timberlake's parallel career rise.
