From Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Amy Berg (2006, Best      Documentary Feature, Deliver Us From Evil) in collaboration with      the multiple Academy Award®-winning team of Peter Jackson and      Fran Walsh (2003, Best Picture ' Best Adapted Screenplay,      The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King), WEST OF MEMPHIS      tells the untold story behind an extraordinary and desperate fight to      stop the State of Arkansas from killing an innocent man. Told and      produced by those who lived it, Damien Echols and Lorri Davis, the      film uncovers new evidence surrounding the 1993 murders of three      eight-year-old boys in the small town of West Memphis, Arkansas, and      exposes the wrongful conviction of three teenagers who lost 18 years      of their lives imprisoned for crimes they did not commit.
