[SBS/10:00pm] The Thin Blue Line. “No American film made during the entire decade was as significant in blurring the boundaries between what’s real and reel, and in demonstrating the remarkable impact a “small” movie can have.” Emanuel Levy. Billed as “the first movie mystery to actually solve a murder”, this gripping and memorable documentary investigates the 1976 murder of a Dallas policeman. Offering a variation on the prevalently ‘Hitchcockian’ ‘Wrong Man’ plot, Oscar-Award winning director Errol Morris’ The Thin Blue Line, screens in the Hot Docs timeslot on SBS Television, Tuesday, May 8 at 10.00pm. Enhanced by a hypnotic score from renowned composer Philip Glass, it treats the fascinating, polemic and true story of the arrest and conviction of Randall Adams for the murder of Robert Wood. With its use of chillingly visceral re-enactments and interview material, it is credited with overturning Adam’s conviction, which yielded the death sentence. Morris became an impassioned advocate of Adams, released after 11 years and at one point, only 3 days from being executed. Some local lawyers believe police and prosecutors wanted to wrap up the case quickly, in order to preserve Dallas County’s conviction rate – the highest in the State. Authorities also wanted to avoid the public embarrassment of a reopened case. The Thin Blue Line’s accolades include Best Documentary 1988, as voted by the New York Film Critics Circle, the National Board of Review and the National Society of Film Critics; Best Movie 1988 by the Washington Post Survey of 250 Film Critics and by the Mystery Writers of America (Edgar Award); and Best Foreign Film (Golden Horse Award) by the Taiwan International Film Festival. Morris’ crusading anti-capital punishment film documents miscarried justice – the hidden motives, the withheld testimonies, the questionable interpretations of facts. Each interview elicits more dilemmas than it can possibly solve until the “truth” is decidedly muddied.
