Episode Season 1, Gen X — Episode 7 — The Thin Blue Line (1988) w/Eileen Jones
This week, DPP is joined by Jacobin film critic and host of the Filmsuck podcast: Eileen Jones.
We gather in the police station break room over coffee and doughnuts to discuss Errol Morris's 1988 film, The Thin Blue Line.
Morris's documentary has been incredibly prescient — bringing to the fore big 21st-century questions about 'fake news,' 'polarisation,' and state power.
Sam, Chase, and Eileen contemplate a few questions — "what even is the truth, man?" and "what if justice just serves the system, dude?" as they discuss the rise of postmodernism and narrativisation in late 20th century documentary making.
