Don't like HILLBILLY ELEGY? Watch Peter Jackson's WEST MEMPHIS THREE, or Eastwood's JEWEL and MILLION DOLLAR BABY. Maybe, watch HELL OR HIGH WATER or NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. HILLBILLY ELEGY was about the winners. They got out. They had hope. No one lived in an old trailer park. No one died from meth or oxy. No one was in prison. West Memphis Three, and the other documentaries about the case, tell the story of three working class teens in Arkansas falsely convicted of murdering three children on the grounds that listening to heavy metal music and being from the wrong side of the tracks constituted satanic worship, witchcraft and murder one. "Spectral Evidence" was out by 1696 in Salem for use in witchcraft trials, but it was fine for Arkansas sentencing teens to death....Atlanta security guard, Richard Jewel, who found the bomb at the Olympics, was railroaded as the "Olympic Bomber" by the media and FBI. The White political and legal system chew them up and spit them out. That system views them as an embarrassment, and even the enemy. God forbid that Ron Howard should show them any decency.
