Plot

The follow-up to the astounding Paradise Lost. More and more, especially forensic, evidence comes to light that the non-existent case against the 3 is just that. Much of the film focuses on the prime alternative suspect, the step-father of one of the murdered children, a dangerously barking Church-going redneck, but the rightwing local state bureaucracy don't want to know, they've already got their man (sorry children). Damien, Jason and Jessie have matured visibly in prison, with Damien perhaps the most eloquent, and certainly a bigger focus in this documentary. Still, all ends inconclusively, Damien is still on death row, reminding the viewer that this is still very much an ongoing case, and one that they could lend their support to. The full amount paid for rental of this movie is donated to The Damien Echols' Defence Fund and the West Memphis Three Appeal.
