Review of The Thin Blue Line (1988) by Brian V — 08 Jun 2007
Not only is this one of the greatest documentaries ever produced but in saving Randall Dale Adams from the chair, it represents one of the most admirable uses of the film medium (Shoah and Born Into Brothels also come to mind).
Anyone who has spent time in jail on bogus, trumped-up charges can sympathize with Adams who spent 11 years behind bars on death row while David Harris, who confessed to his friends that he killed a Dallas cop (and ostensibly to Errol Morris at the end of the film), was free to kill again.
If you were upset by the verdict in the OJ murder trial, wait until you see this gem.
