"Brother's Keeper"
1993
Directed by Joe Berlinger/Bruce Sinofsky

This is a reconstruction of the arrest and trial of Delbert Ward in the alleged suffocation and murder of his brother Bill. Set in a small town in upstate New York, this is the true account of four brothers who shared the same small squalid farmhouse with no electricity or running water for over six decades, until one was murdered by another.  A powerful work about the nature of justice and community, and the grass-roots campaign to secure Delbert's freedom and exonerate him of the charges. Documentary. 105 minutes.
