Directed by Jim Yukich and produced by Paul Flattery for FYI (Flattery Yukich Inc.), the music video/short film for Michael Jackson's "Liberian Girl" was filmed in two days in April 1989 at A&M Chaplin Stage at A&M Studios in Los Angeles, California. The film featured many of Jackson's celebrity friends who gather on a soundstage to film a video but can't seem to find Jackson. The song is Jackson's ninth and final single from the Bad album. Jackson's Official YouTube channel currently does not have the official 5m version but instead the shortened 4m version, cutting off the credits portion of the video. Liberian woman Margaret Carson said in an interview with The Washington Times "when that music came out ... the Liberian girls were so astonished to hear a great musician like Michael Jackson thinking about a little country in Africa. It gave us hope, especially when things went bad ... . It made us to feel that we are still part of the world."
