A documentary before this one shown at Sundance, was put out back in 1996, which questioned if the teens really killed the child.

The case and documentary then intrigued celebrities like Eddie Vedder, Johnny Depp, and then Peter Jackson got involved more recently, and funded this new documentary with his wife Fran.

“West of Memphis”, Directed by Amy Berg, takes you through all the 18 years of torture the 3 teens, who are now adults, had to ensue.
