Paradise Lost: The Child Murders At Robin Hood Hills, Paradise Lost 2: Revelations and Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory, which were all directed by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, document the experiences of the accused, from trial to sentencing to long-awaited freedom 18 years later thanks in part to the help of entertainment luminaries like director Peter Jackson (whose West of Memphis doc was acquired by Sony Pictures Classics following its Sundance debut) and Johnny Depp in what turned out to be a true Hollywood ending.
