The investigative documentary West of Memphis is debuting on Friday, January 20, 2012 at the Sundance Film Festival. Presented by Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, West of Memphis is an in-depth look at the murder case against Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley Jr – known as the West Memphis 3 – the guilty verdict, and the subsequent re-examination of the case and the new evidence uncovered that helped prove the innocence of the three men who were convicted as murderers.
Amy Berg (Deliver Us from Evil) directs and Echols and Lorri Davis produce this inside story of the fight to free the three men from prison.
