The Thin Blue Line
1988
****½
Director: Errol Morris
Cast:

This film made a difference. Errol Morris worked on another project when he interviewed Randall Adams, a prisoner on deathrow for killing a cop in Dallas in 1976. This powerful documentary mixes dramatisation and interviews, and questions the validity of the police investigation and the subsequent trial. Adams was acquitted soon after the film was released.
