BEST MAN Documentaries

Description

Twenty years ago, Ira Wohl won
an Academy A ward for his
documentary BEST BOY, which
examined the life of his then fifty year
old, mentally retarded cousin Philly.
Philly had always lived at home with
his parents, but at that time began a
four year journey toward greater
independence, ultimately moving into
a group residence. As gloriously
moving as its predecessor, BEST
MAN examines Philly’s life as it is
today.
