The director interviewed Landau Adams, a criminal suspect who was sentenced to death and later sentenced to life imprisonment, David Harris, a habitual offender who testified against Adams, three witnesses to the trial of the case, the Miller couple and Mike Landau, And the police, judges and lawyers involved in the detection and trial of the case. Through different characters' descriptions of the circumstances of the case from different angles, Morris successfully confirmed Landau's grievance, and used the words of a public prosecutor in the film to name the police as the "thin blue line" that distinguishes a democratic society from totalitarianism. During this unfair trial, the lawyer left the profession because he felt that justice was not being served here, and the life of ordinary Adams was ruined. Since you have the important scribing power in your hands, before you use it, can you ask yourself, is it really correct to do this?
At the beginning, it will be a bit confusing, but it will be discovered later that the director's intentions, in fact, he has his own attitude, but he does not directly explain it, but shows it to the audience in an objective way. The way the case is reproduced in the film is very interesting, and the incomplete partial photography always brings the audience to the scene but brings more imagination. Extensive interviews and evidence presented make the documentary's practical significance and impact far beyond the film itself.
