The documentary "West of Memphis" supervised by the great director Peter Jackson made its debut at the sundance film festival at the beginning of the year and was well received. The film focuses on the murder of three boys in Memphis, Arkansas, in 1993. All three suspects were sentenced to life in prison with reprieve. However, the three have always claimed their innocence and continued to make various efforts in prison. In 2011, the three were given suspended sentences as new evidence emerged. A new trailer for the film was released this week.
West of Memphis is directed and written by Amy Borg, who was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at The 78th Annual Academy Awards for The Great First Aid, a documentary that reconstructs everything that happened in that year and tells the story of it all. We show a series of never-before-seen materials such as investigations, lawsuits, and more.
