While not quite as objective as the first film, Paradise Lost 2 does seem to do a better job of raising awareness of the case.

In this follow-up to the 1996 movie PARADISE LOST: THE CHILD MURDERS AT ROBIN HOOD HILLS, which investigated the true story of the brutal murders of three eight-year-old boys in Robin Hood Falls (an area of West Memphis, Arkansas), director Joe Berlinger returns to the same small town (without Bruce Sinofsky, his co-director of the first film) four years after the crime to examine its short-term impact. Originally released on HBO in early 2000, PARADISE LOST 2: REVELATIONS was screened in combination with a re-release of the original, PARADISE LOST: THE CHILD MURDERS AT ROBIN HOOD HILLS. The theatrical releases of these movies was in response to public outcry, much of which was generated by a web site at www.wm3.org that lobbied for public recognition of the crime and the questionable accusation, arrest, and conviction of three local teenagers.Berlinger and Sinofsky created yet another effective crime documentary in 1992 with their film BROTHER'S KEEPER.

Reviews for Paradise Lost 2: Revelations
Somewhat less successful than the original, not just because it necessarily must lean heavily on clips from the first movie
Likely to extend and amplify your reactions to the first film, without really deepening the judicial case or its artistic point of view.
If this film is not as good as the first one ... it piles even more evidence up that says that three teenage boys were convicted of a crime they didn't commit.
A disturbing portrait of a man who may or may not have gotten away with murder.
