Peter Jackson's "West of Memphis" Innocence Project Documentary Premieres at Sundance Jan. 20th

    
      Awhile ago I posted on this blog regarding Peter Jackson and his wife, Fran Walsh, being involved in the West Memphis Three case of Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley, who were released this year from prison 20 years after an unfounded murder conviction placed them behind bars for most of their teenage and adult life.  Now, Jackson, Walsh, and documentary filmmaker Amy Berg (Deliver Us From Evil) are putting their talents to use.  
     Their new joint effort documentary, West of Memphis, premieres at Sundance this upcoming week, and looks riveting.  Jackson certainly seems to stay busy.  The link below is to an article at EW.com that includes an interview with Echols, Jackson, Walsh and Berg, all discussing the film and how it came to be.  Read up and enjoy.  Man, maybe I should be falsely accused of murdering three 8-year-olds.  Maybe then I could finally meet Peter Jackson.
