West of Memphis

CrimeDocumentary150 min

West of Memphis revisits the 1993 murders of three boys in West Memphis, Arkansas, and the case that sent the West Memphis Three to prison. With Damien Echols and his wife, Lorri Davis, among the people guiding the film’s account, the documentary follows the defense team’s investigation, forensic re-examination, and appeals as they work to challenge the convictions. Amy Berg uses extensive access to lawyers, experts, and family members to show how the case was built, how doubts grew around it, and what new evidence surfaced years later.
