It's not a new story, true, but "West of Memphis" makes it both extremely personal and universally painful.

[A] work of fierce documentary advocacy directed by Amy Berg that follows the successful crusade to free three men...

Rating: 3.5/4 --
While the "Paradise Lost" films captured events as they unfolded in the heat of battle, "West of Memphis" has the luxury of at least partial closure.

Rating: 3/4 --
A compelling chronicle of true crime, paranoia, and a world where justice no longer holds any meaning.

Rating: 3/4 --
A documentary that distills 19 years of a witch hunt, a grass roots movement, lost leads, confusion, countless appeals, and hope into one remarkable movie that is hellbent on setting the record straight.

And justice for all? Hardly.

Product Description:
Although the infamous case of the West Memphis Three has already been the subject of three first-class documentaries from director Joe Berlinger, Amy Berg's WEST OF MEMPHIS again explores the oft-documented incarceration of three teenagers for a triple homicide that many believe they never committed. Co-produced by one of the three supposedly falsely convicted men, WEST OF MEMPHIS lays out the case for their innocence and details how a number of high-profile figures -- including Eddie Vedder, Johnny Depp, and Natalie Maines -- helped raise money and awareness in order to free the trio. WEST OF MEMPHIS played at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival.
