On November 28, 1976, when drifter Randall Dale Adams was picked up by teenage runaway David Harris, his fate was sealed. That night, a police officer was shot in cold blood. And though all the facts pointed to Harris, a sociopath with a lengthy rap sheet, Adams was convicted of capital murder. Was Adams guilty? And if not, can Morris unlock the secrets of this baffling case? (official distributor synopsis)

English "The thin blue line" is not a document that will amaze you by completely changing the appearance of the document, because it didn't do that, but it will show you how powerful a medium film actually is and what influence it can have on a person and their life. Is it objective? Probably not entirely, but what is today? However, it managed to look at one case in a completely new way. ()
