Damien Echols dresses in black, listens to heavy metal, and dabbles in the Wicca relgion, but does that make him a killer? A month after the murders of 3 little boys, Echols and 2 friends are arrested and instantly condemned by a retribution-hungry public. Can these disaffect youth defend themselves against a dubious lack of proof, particularly when the local media has already editorialized their sins in blood? The film was made by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky.
Description:
The brutal slaying of three children leads to the arrest and trial of three teenagers whose only crime seems to be their interest in heavy metal music. A gripping documentary from the makers of 'Brother's Keeper.'
