The Cinemondo gang discusses Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky's HBO true crime documentaries PARADISE LOST 1, 2 and 3. Kathy and Burk, along with their friends Grove Pashley and Lisa Fancher, became part of these films and helped start a worldwide movement that was instrumental in freeing Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley from prison in Arkansas. But the horrific murder of Chris Byers, Michael Moore and Stevie Branch has never been solved and is an ongoing mystery. Kathy and Burk discuss what it was like to be a subject of the documentary cameras and how it felt to go through the looking glass into an an ongoing crime investigation.
(Kathy, Mark and Burk are obeying the “Safer at Home” mandate and self-isolating during the present health crisis. This episode was recorded with all of us in our respective homes.)
