A murder, college, someone wrongfully convicted, arson by pouring gasoline on someone

All I recall about this movie is that it was some some of “expose” of who the filmmakers claim is the real killer in connection with some sort of boarding school or campus murder.

Someone got killed in a campus setting (USA) and the wrong person was convicted (?) and the filmmakers made the film to seemingly point the finger where they claim it should be.

There’s a scene about murder by arson, I think they pour gasoline on someone and set them ablaze.

It sounds cheesy but I recall it as a pretty good movie.

Anyone have any clue as to what I’m talking about? I wanna guess it was made in the 2000s or 90s. American, indie probably.

Thanks for any help!

Weird British (?) movie about a rock musician dating an underage girl

Saw this movie when I was a kid, I think, (80s) and came across it again a few years ago, though I cannot recall the circumstances.

I believe it is British, from the 70s (or possibly early 80s, though I don’t think so).  Color, I’m pretty sure. May possibly have been made for TV. I May have seen it as a rerun on a European TV station.

The plot concerns an adult rock musician who engages in a romance with an underage girl of maybe 14, 15. I recall a scene where they meet on his boat, and later scenes where they party with the band.

The weird thing about the movie as I recall it, is that the filmmakers take the point of view that the couple is totally legit, and that the world is wrong for condemning them. In fact, I don’t recall the film ever even touching upon the possibility that the man is wrong to be with the girl who is so much his junior, but rather treating the romance as completely natural… It’s almost a sort of ‘social realism’ type treatment, but in reverse. If you get my drift.

I’d say the film has sort of a B-movie/low budget indie type feel to it.

Can’t swear that it’s a British production either, but 99.9% certain the language is English with British accents.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
