Who Killed Atlanta's Children? (also known as Echo of Murder and Unanswered Questions) is a TV movie about the Atlanta child murders starring James Belushi and Gregory Hines. It was directed by Charles Robert Carner and first aired on Showtime on July 16, 2000. This movie projects a conspiracy theory about the murders: that they were committed by the Ku Klux Klan, who then framed Wayne Williams.
Reception
The movie was critically reviewed in Time magazine by Richard Corliss, who said the director-writer "blithely shuffles fact and innuendo."
