Paradise Lost Trailer

Warp Films' new distribution label has released classic American documentaries Paradise Lost and Paradise Lost 2 by Joe Berlinger & Bruce Sinofsky (the directors of Metallica: Some Kind of Monster).

The much celebrated films, that also feature a soundtrack by Metallica, tell the true story of one of the most notorious murder cases in US history, and the aftermath in which three teenagers were convicted of murder in - what some claimed -- was an atmosphere of 'Satanic Panic'. The filmmakers captured these shocking events as they unfolded before their cameras with unprecedented access to all involved in this real-life human drama.

As an international movement to "Free the West Memphis Three" gathers pace, backed by Marilyn Manson, Winona Ryder and Tom Waits amongst others, and they continue to serve out their sentences (with 'ringleader' Echols on Death Row) the question remains: was justice served and have the real killers been caught?

With the release of both award-winning films together, for the first time, it's time to make up your mind.
