The Thin Blue Line

You work late in a Dallas police precinct when the call comes in a fellow officer is down and then a confession surfaces that doesn’t quite add up. Morris turns the evidence into a procedural ghost story where every image feels found yet framed. The reenactments don’t solve the case they expose how stories are made to fit before the trial even begins.
