Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills (1996)

Staggering documentary by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky that chronicles the infamous case of three West Memphis, Arkansas teenagers that were falsely accused and subsequently convicted of the grizzly 1993 triple-murder & mutilation of 3 eight year old boys …

This documentary and the two more that followed: Paradise Lost 2: Revelations, and Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory, helped bring the case international attention that was only further bolstered by the rock group Metallica allowing their music to be used in the films and celebrities like Henry Rollins, Johnny Depp & Peter Jackson publicly speaking about it and putting their time and financial support to help the boys in their long court cases that followed.

In 2012, Peter Jackson produced the incredible documentary ‘West of Memphis‘ that brought the entire case full circle.

In a peaceful Arkansas suburb, three eight-year-old boys are found maimed and brutally slain — one of them was castrated. The community understandably goes into an uproar until one, mentally slow teen, Jason, comes forward and claims that he and two others killed the boys as part of a Satanic ritual..  Rotten Tomatoes
