HBO Documentary Films has set a January 12 premiere date for Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory, the conclusion of the trilogy that helped free three men — Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley, known as The West Memphis Three — convicted of the gruesome 1993 murder of three 8-year-old boys. The third film, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, chronicles the new developments, culminating in the trio’s August release from prison after more than 18 years. “Almost 20 years and three films ago, HBO’s Sheila Nevins sent us on this journey to document the terrible murders of three innocent boys and the subsequent circus that followed the arrests and convictions of Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley,” says filmmaker Joe Berlinger. “To see our work culminate in the righting of this tragic miscarriage of justice is more than a filmmaker could ask for.”


nice to see the hard work wind up with the three finaly free from jail though still denied justice since the state will not fully admit they should never have been convicted in the first place. glad hbo is showing the end of the trilogy that lead to a little justice for the west mephis three after so long.
HEY HBO – you NEED to air/put on the OnDemand the first two docs!!!!!! HBO put them on OnDemand when this story broke again a few months ago, BUT they only were on there for about 5 minutes.
People want to see ALL the docs in this series. And I definitely want to see the first two again before I watch the third.
PUT THE DOCS ON ONDEMAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was deeply involved in the free the west memphis 3 movent. That day of their release was 1 of the best most fullfilling days of my life.
HBO should put the first two documentaries on demand. I have been following this case ever since I saw the first documentary on HBO.
