The Jeffrey MacDonald case has fascinated me for decades because it goes to the heart of the very idea that ultimate truth and certainty can be sculpted out of evidence and testimony.
Out of all the directors who could have focused their lens on the case, Errol Morris is the natural choice and even if he had not already taken a deep dive into the case in bestseller book form, he would still be the ideal filmmaker for the task as he seems to implicitly grasp the core issues of memory, narrative, testimony, evidential findings and human fallibility that lie at the heart of the justice system.

If you can resist a rush to judgement and live with uncertainty you will find this compulsory viewing, just like his previous opus Wormwood, Errol is on top form.

PS I would really recommend the companion podcast called Morally Indefensible which takes an in-depth look into the Fatal Vision book on the case written by Joe McGinniss which also forms the basis of the TV series of the same name.
