Review
TIn 1993 the naked and mutilated bodies of three 8-year-old boys where found in a shallow creek near the sleepy redneck Arkansas town of Robin Hood Hills. The ensuing police investigation soon focused on three local teens who dressed in black, had vaguely non-Christian beliefs and enjoyed heavy metal music. A rushed investigation and the pitiful court case that followed were all filmed with unprecedented access by a HBO documentary crew who came to believe that the three suspects were victims of a modern day witch trial. At turns shocking, frustrating and tragic this documentary is a must see as is the follow-up film ‘Revelations: Paradise Lost 2’. The full amount paid for every rental of this movie is donated to The Damien Echols Defence Fund and the West Memphis Three Appeal.
