BROTHER’S KEEPER Late Additions

Delbert, Bill, Lyman and Roscoe Ward are illiterate bachelor brothers who never ventured beyond their dairy farm in New York state. Their quiet life was shattered when the ailing Bill was found dead and Delbert confessed to suffocating him as an act of mercy This fascinating documentary captures a real-life murder mystery as it unfolded before the filmmakers’ cameras – from pre-trial courtroom drama to lively village fundraisers; from the initial media feeding frenzy to the explosive trial itself. This wellcrafted and sensitive cinema verite exploration of the American justice system and mankind’s reservoir of compassion is a winner- Duane Byrge, The Hollywood Reporter
