As a boy in pre-war Baghdad, Adil Faraj dreamed of becoming a dancer, inspired by a Michael Jackson performance he watched on DVD.

For more than a decade, he pursued his passion despite daunting challenges and harassment by strangers and police. He taught himself by moving to dance videos in his cramped family home

“What is “jesus juice”?”

When michael had his special young guests for overnight visits, he would share his special “jesus juice” with then which was wine. Thought that was common knowledge.
