Johnny Depp
Reveals Anguish
Over WM3 Injustice
INTERVIEW
Description:
Among the documentaries making waves at this year's Toronto International Film Festival is "West of Memphis," the latest film to examine the wrongful conviction, imprisonment, and subsequent release of the men known as the West Memphis Three. And among those most devoted to getting the word out about the alarming miscarriage of justice, and the filmmakers who brought it to light, is a particularly recognizable celebrity: Johnny Depp, who has been working actively behind the scenes to help the story get the recognition it deserves.
Though Depp has kept a low profile about his involvement, he did sit down with his friend Damien Echols -- one of the defendants who spent 18 years on death row before his conviction was overturned -- and MTV News to discuss how the story of the West Memphis Three first came to his attention.
