"Out of Thin Air" is a documentary film that tells the story of the disappearance of two men in Iceland in 1974. The men, Gudmundur Einarsson and Geirfinnur Einarsson, vanished without a trace and their bodies were never found. The case remained unsolved for over 40 years until a breakthrough in 2014.
The film explores the controversial investigation that led to six people being convicted of murder, despite there being no physical evidence linking them to the crime. The suspects were subjected to coercive interrogation techniques and eventually confessed to the murders.
However, as more evidence came to light, it became clear that the confessions were fabricated and the convictions were overturned. "Out of Thin Air" raises questions about the reliability of confessions obtained through coercion and the impact of confirmation bias in criminal investigations.
