#118 - The Thin Blue Line

Directed by Errol Morris
1988 Documentary
Not Rated

**** 1/2

Errol Morris' landmark documentary about a man wrongfully convicted of the murder of a Dallas police officer and sentenced to life in prison was (to the best of my knowledge) the first time a film has caused a court case to not only be reopened, but the ruling overturned and the innocent man set free. If you think our justice system is perfect, just watch this film.
