Summary:
"Among the most important documentaries ever made, The
Thin
Blue
Line
, by Errol Morris, erases the border between art and activism. A work of meticulous journalism and gripping drama, it recounts the disturbing tale of Randall Dale Adams, a drifter who was charged with the murder of a Dallas police officer and sent to death row, despite evidence that he did not commit the crime. incorporating stylized reenactments, penetrating interviews, and haunting original music by
Philip
Glass
, Morris uses cinema to build a case forensically while effortlessly entertaining his viewers. The
Thin
Blue
Line
effected real-world change, proving film's power beyond the shadow of a doubt."--Container.
