Ep 91: Paradise Lost: WM3 Documentaries

STEPPING INTO A WEST MEMPHIS THREE TRUE CRIME DOCUMENTARY

The Cinemondo gang discusses Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky's HBO true crime documentaries PARADISE LOST 1, 2 and 3. Kathy and Burk, along with their friends Grove Pashley and Lisa Fancher, became part of these films and helped start a worldwide movement that was instrumental in freeing Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley from prison in Arkansas. But the horrific murder of Chris Byers, Michael Moore and Stevie Branch has never been solved and is an ongoing mystery. Kathy and Burk discuss what it was like to be a subject of the documentary cameras and how it felt to go through the looking glass into an an ongoing crime investigation.

Special thanks to many of the people who helped Free the West Memphis Three:

Lisa Fancher, AL, Jacob P, Chris W, Mona K, Jene O, Marie S, Ruth C, Greg F, Bob B, Cassie, Nathan H, Bill and Marcia P ( 'Frzrdr'), Sara W, Dori M, KC K, Scot L, Brenda C, Michale G...

And so many other unamed heroes who spread the word, had events and raised money for the WM3's defense fund. You all rock!
