Executive Producer
1993年のアメリカ合衆国アーカンソー州ウェスト・メンフィス。5月のある日、三人の児童が行方不明となり、後に無残な死体となって発見された。後に地元警察は、容疑者として三人のティーンエイジャーを逮捕する。三人はオカルトとヘヴィメタルが好きな地元の問題児たちで、悪魔崇拝者による猟奇殺人と決め付けた地元警察は、無罪を主張する彼らを強引な手法で追い詰めていくのだった。一方、そんな警察の捜査に疑念を抱いた私立探偵のロン・ラックスは独自に調査に乗り出す。また、被害児童の母親の一人であるパム・ホッブスも、真犯人は別にいるという疑念を次第に抱くようになる。

A further investigation into the arrest of three teenagers convicted of killing three young boys in Arkansas who spent nearly 20 years in prison before being released after new DNA evidence indicated they may be innocent.
Narrator
Filled with humor and defining experiences in both his own life and in the lives of some of his closest friends, William Faulkner and Robert Aldrich, as well as on his late wife, screenwriter Silvia Richards, Mr. Bezzerides offers colorful reflections as to why he and his typewriter unabashedly need to keep creating honest characters, worlds, and stories. Through recently discovered boxes of photographs, film clips, the haunting music by Fugazi, interviews (including Jules Dassin, Mickey Spillane and Barry Gifford) and testaments to his progressive creativity from other writers, Fay Lellios' straight-ahead documentary gives us a start in discovering this 97-year-old proletariat storyteller, and the meaning of his favorite phrase by Carl Jung, "There can be no birth of consciousness without pain."
