Apple shares trailer The Line, a four-part docuseries into Eddie Gallagher war crime case
Based on the podcast series, The Line goes into the trial of U.S. Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, who was accused of war crimes
Apple’s filling out its content library with something all streamers worth its weight in salt needs: true crime.
Based on the Apple podcast series hosted by Dan Taberski (Missing Richard Simmons, Surviving Y2K), The Line dives into the controversial war crimes allegations against Chief Petty Officer Eddie Gallagher.
Produced by Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions, the Academy Award-winning production company behind Taxi To The Dark Side, Going Clear, and The Crime Of The Century, the series promises an unflinching look at the accusations against Gallagher and the maelstrom trial and media coverage that followed.
In 2019, Gallagher was charged with allegedly stabbing a 17-year-old ISIS prisoner to death in 2018, taking photos with the body, and sending it to his friends. He was later acquitted of all but one charge (taking a photograph with the corpse) after another team member admitted to killing the prisoner in a surprise testimony.
