Steven F. @SteveGotScored Apr 8 Easily a powerful documentary! See more Maksim S @MaksimusMovies Nov 10 This gripping follow-up to Paradise Lost exposes the legal and investigative failures behind the West Memphis Three case. With new evidence and intimate interviews, it’s a searing critique of injustice, corruption, and moral panic. Bleak, compelling, and unflinching, it’s a must-watch for anyone questioning the limits of the American justice system.

Very well constructed one doesn’t mind following it for almost two and a half hours. It is remarkable that the state prosecutor continued to insist that no mistake was made when the three young men were initially convicted. The state Supreme Court congratulated the people who supported the defendants, which exposes the comedy of the “Alford plea” in this particular case : the state claims that the defendants are guilty of a heinous crime and then sets them free.
