From acclaimed filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky (the makers of Brother's Keeper and Metallica: Some Kind of Monster), this landmark documentary series begins with Paradise Lost, investigating the gruesome 1993 murders of three Arkansas eight-year-olds and the teenagers accused of killing them as part of a Satanic rituals. From real-life courtroom drama and clandestine jailhouse interviews to behind-the-scenes strategy meetings and intimate moments with grief-stricken families, the filmmakers were granted unprecedented access to all the players involved, capturing the events as they unfolded. Berlinger and Sinofsky returned to Arkansas five years later for Paradise Lost 2: Revelations, updating the story and delving deeply into the shocking aftermath of the trials. Winners of numerous awards around the globe, the films have inspired a new generation of documentary filmmakers and sparked the international movement to "Free the West Memphis Three." Paradise Lost and Revelations tear the lid off a notorious murder case, offering a portrait of the American justice system that is by turns terrifying, heartbreaking, and mesmerizing.
