About The Film
Errol Morris’s ground-breaking documentary The Thin Blue Line investigates the wrongful conviction of Randall Adams for the 1976 murder of a Dallas police officer. Using stylized reenactments and interviews, the film exposes a corrupt justice system, arguing that key witnesses lied and the actual killer was someone else. Released in 1988, the film won many awards but its use of reenactments sparked controversy among documentary purists. In spite of this, the film has helped redefine the format and become one of the most influential documentaries ever made.
