08/25/88. The Thin Blue Line was a documentary movie, original music composed by Philip Glass, directed by Errol Morris.

This is a frightening look at how badly justice can miscarry. It's the true story of Randall Dale Adams (pictured above) who was wrongly convicted of murdering Dallas, Texas police officer Robert Wood. This gripping documentary lets the story tell itself, with the group of people that were directly involved in the case, witnesses, law enforcement officers, the judge and the lawyers. The film, with an incredible music score that sounds like musical teardrops, pulled me deeply into this real life drama to the point one wonders how in the world could something like this happen to an innocent man.
