THE THIN BLUE LINE

The Thin Blue Line is a fascinating documentary that reads like a classic film noir. Director Errol Morris argues that a man convicted of killing a Dallas police officer was wrongly imprisoned by a corrupt justice system pressured to find someone to pin the murder on. The case involves multiple stories from multiple witnesses. Anyone trying to find the actual facts must determine among a group with varying levels of credibility, who’s telling the truth, who’s lying, and who’s just sadly mistaken.
