School. Remember that? When life was all crayons and small glass bottles of milk and the winters were colder and summers dragged out for years..... aaaaaah. Aside from that great scene in Fanny And Alexander when the dad tells his kids the history of a green chair, this beautifully made documentary is about as powerful an evocation of childhood you can get on film.

Damien, Jason and Jessie have matured visibly in prison, with Damien perha find out more...

TIn 1993 the naked and mutilated bodies of three 8-year-old boys where found in a shallow creek near the sleepy redneck Arkansas town of Robin Hood Hills. The ensuing police investigation soon focused on three local teens who dressed in black, had vaguely non-Christian beliefs and enjoyed heavy metal music.
