Answer :

Do you have the courage to get through these?The "Paradise Lost" Trilogy This series of three documentaries tells the story of three teenagers who were accused of a killing spree in a poor neighborhood called Robin Hood Hills in Arkansas. Known as the West Memphis Three, these teenagers were thought to be responsible for the murder and sexual mutilation of three prepubescent boys. In 2011, new evidence and other factors, including the powerful influence of the documentaries themselves, contributed to their being released from prison after 18 years. The trilogy is considered to be a landmark in modern documentary filmmaking."Albert Fish: In Sin He Found Salvation" This film tells the story of Albert Fish, a man who lured numerous boys to his home where he prayed for them as he murdered them. After killing them, Fish would eat their corpses."Bus 174" "Bus 174" tells the story of a terrorist attack on Bus 174 in Rio de Janeiro. This terrorist attack was broadcast live and showed a sharpshooter taking out an innocent passenger seconds before the terrorist was set to surrender. The sharpshooter's mistake caused a riot."H.H. Holmes: America's First Serial Killer" This documentary tells the story of H.H. Holmes, a serial killer who would prey on the tourists visiting the 1893 Chicago's World Fair. He created his own house of horrors for his victims."Cropsey" This film tells the tale of a string of murders in Staten Island and their connection to a local urban legend."Capturing the Friedmans" This film tells the story of a father and brother who were convicted of child molestation. The director delves into the lives of the victims and how the crimes have affected their lives."Into The Abyss" This documentary follows Michael Perry, a convicted murderer, just weeks before his execution.

The film also interviews the victims' families and law enforcement."Taxi to the Dark Side" This movie examines methods of torture during military interrogations by following a group of US soldiers as they detain and beat an Afghan taxi driver to death."Deliver Us From Evil" Not to be confused with the 2014 horror film, "Deliver Us From Evil" tells the story of Father Oliver O'Grady. He was a Catholic priest who raped dozens of children. The Catholic Church tried to cover it up by moving him from church to church."Burma VJ" This documentary tells the story of the brutal and horrific crimes committed by the regime in Burma. Locals videotaped these crimes and smuggled the footage out of the country so the rest of the world would see what was happening."Killer Legends" This film covers several of the most horrific and terrorizing urban legends out there. It investigates the past to find the true-life crimes that originated these legends."The Central Park Five" This crime centers around the increased racial tensions happening in New York City around 1989.
