Among the many musicians who fought on behalf of the West Memphis Three — a trio of Arkansas men convicted as teenagers in 1993 for a series of child murders they did not commit — was Eddie Vedder. The Pearl Jam frontman was instrumental in raising money and awareness, and thanks in part to his efforts, Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley Jr. and Jason Baldwin were freed in August 2011 after spending more than 18 years in prison.
See the music video below for "Satellite", his contribution to the soundtrack for 'West of Memphis', a new documentary about the case.
