2. The Thin Blue Line
Recommended by 9 sites; IMDb rank 8.1 – Total:18 points
Errol Morris’ documentary “The Thin Blue Line” was released back in 1988, but it’s a pretty impressive one. The film follows the story of Randall Dale Adams who was convicted to life in prison for a murder he did not commit.
Not only does the documentary tell his story, it also manages to show just how circumstantial all evidence in the case was. It was so good, in fact, that Adams was exonerated a year after the film was released after his case was reviewed.
