In 1976, Randall Adams was wrongly sentenced to death for the murder of a Dallas policeman. Errol Morris' stunning documentary exposed the truth of the case and is actually credited with overturning Adams' conviction. A 1989 Spirit Award nominee for Best Feature and Best Director, this wildly entertaining, landmark IFC film changed the face of what a movie can do and is largely thought to be one of the best documentaries ever made.
