"The Thin Blue Line" is a documentary film directed by Errol Morris, released in 1988. It explores the case of Randall Dale Adams, who was wrongfully convicted of murder in Texas. The film uses interviews, reenactments, and photographic evidence to challenge the validity of the conviction and highlight flaws in the criminal justice system.
