They say the crimes were satanic. The truth may be scarier. The compelling story of three teenagers accused of the brutal 1993 murder of three 8-year-old boys in Memphis, Arkansas. Two of them were sentenced to life imprisonment and one to death.
The film explores the lives of deeply misunderstood outsiders, their families and communities, and their darkest fantasies. The conviction of the West Memphis Three—Damien Echols, Jesse Misskelley, Jr., and Jason Baldwin—riled the American justice system, shocked a tightly knit religious town and outraged the nation.
