West of Memphis
Dir by Amy Berg
I think the most startling thing about Amy Bergs talent as a documentarian is her passionate and fearless search for the truth. This conviction takes her into some pretty murky terrain and that is no more the truth than with this film. West of Memphis hung heavy in the air long after the credits rolled, bringing up strong emotions in most audience members at this mornings screening. It’s humbling to know there are people out there who will stop at nothing to expose the truth, and gives me hope that there will one day be justice for the three little boys who were so gruesomely discarded.
