MNFF Selects Presents:

Thin Blue Line (1988)

Sunday, Febraury 9 at 3:00 PM

One night in November 1976, after his car breaks down on a road outside Dallas, Randall Dale Adams accepts a ride from teenager David Harris. Harris is driving a stolen vehicle and, later that night, when Dallas police officer Robert Wood pulls the car over to check its headlights, he is shot and killed. A jury believes Adams is the killer, but Errol Morris' classic documentary explores the role of Harris' perjured testimony, misleading witness accounts and police misconduct in the verdict.

MNFF Selects is a series that presents thought-provoking films once a month at Town Hall Theater curated by the Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival. The 2025 winter/spring season will explore four films from the archive--each of them a unique example of the neo-noir genre
