While some were questioning why another film had to be made about this, most that have seen it during it’s festival run have said that it’s a solid doc and certainly worth a watch. West of Memphis is directed by Amy Berg, and is set for a Christmas release.
Wrongly imprisoned for eighteen years, the three convicts were eventually brought to justice and released when Academy Award winning team Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh financed private investigators and forensic testing in search of the truth. The new West Of Memphis trailer is a showcase for this spectacular story, supplemented by research, interviews with those involved in the 1993 case and a palpable desire to acknowledge that the true killer of those young Arkansas boys remains free to this day.
