This film needn't have been made if Errol Morris didn't write the book, but he did. I am relatively sure he wrote it with good intentions. I watched The Thin Blue Line and I still think (not believe but THINK), that he really saved an innocent man from "old sparky".
Since then he has squandered the opportunity to ask anything interesting when interviewing high profile war criminals (Robert McNamara & Donald Rumsfeld), in favor of letting them tell their baloney unchallenged in a way that the New York Times and the rest of the liberal establishment could cope with and in turn balonify upon in their retrospective of their own history.
Narrative only has its power when it is constantly being crammed down our throats. Truth doesn't need all that much effort to see.
