One of the best crime documentaries out there
Insightful documentary showing the monumental failure of the American judicial system that ultimately cost more lives than just the victim’s
Very good documentary. Really cool to see so many fight for the justice of the 3. Also does well to cast doubt onto others
Powerful documentary. Pretty much a cliff-notes version of the Paradise Lost Trilogy, but it still stands alone on its own merits.
Well directed and gives a ton of information in a respectful & thoughtful way. Worth a watch, esp for those interested in law or true crime.
Good companion piece to the Paradise Lost trilogy.
Makes you feel that for some woman's denial is a river in egipt.
Very intriguing watch but I couldn't help but feel like it was bias. I love murder documentaries, I would definitely recommend if you do too
Terrible to think about those that are serving time for things they didn’t do. Those families deserved justice in its purest form.
A film about the failings of the justice system - a condensed account of the case and the West Memphis 3's long fight for justice
