THE THIN BLUE LINE, 7 PM
With The Thin Blue Line, Morris saved a man from death row, indicted another for murder, and created one of the most influential films of the 1980s. After 30 months of research on the 1976 murder of a police officer, the filmmaker found reason to believe the man convicted wasn't guilty--and ultimately proved his case when the key witness confessed to him. Morris interspersed images of the crime scene with interview footage to riveting effect, and Philip Glass composed a mesmerizing original score. 1988, U.S., 101 minutes.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME, 9 PM
Based on British physicist Stephen Hawking's bestseller of the same title, this stunning biography of both the universe and Hawking connects the two as only Morris can. He traces Hawking's intellectual rise as a theoretician and physical degeneration with ALS, which rendered him unable to speak or move. As thought-provoking as it is powerful. 1992, U.K./U.S., 101 minutes.
