If you have not seen Errol Morris' 1988 documentary The Thin Blue Line, get it asap. Not only a great documentary that revolutionized our conception of documentary filmmaking (aesthetics and politics), but a great example of a creative filmmaker patiently (forensically?) recreating the scene of the crime multiple times to reflect shifting testimonies/perspectives. You feel like you are in a jury and the case is being presented to you. Also, as far as I know, this was the first film that successfully freed a person on death row (and he was convicted for killing a police officer in Texas -- what are the odds of doing that?)
