Paradise Lost 2: Revelations

Paradise Lost 2: Revelations is the sequel to the controversial 1996 documentary Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills (Watch that first if you have not already).In the first documentary we see three people Jessie Misskelley, Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin charged, tried and found guilty of the sexual assault and murder of three young boys in West Memphis, Arkansas.

While Misskelley and Baldwin were sentenced to life in prison Echols being old enough and seen as the ring leader was sentenced to death. Revelations picks up the story in 2000 and at the start we see there had been a big reaction to the first documentary with many thinking it even went to proving the innocence of the three convicted. Some groups had even been created to try help prove the innocence of Misskelley, Echols and Baldwin saying there was no evidence and the motive of Satanic ritual was suspect. John Mark Byers the adoptive father of one of the murdered boys also gets attention with some pointing the finger at him as a suspect. After Paradise Lost 2: Revelations there is a final documentary you can watch here Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory.
