"Brother's keeper, one of the most successful nonfiction movies of all time, tells the story of the "Ward Boys," four eccentric brothers who shared the same dilapidated, two-room shack for over 60 years."
"Documents the story of the eccentric and reclusive Ward brothers, four dairy farmers who shared the same two-room shack in the tiny rural town of Munnsville, New York, for more than sixty years. Existing without heat or running water, the elderly bachelors had virtually no contact with the outside world -- until Bill was found dead in the bed he shared with his brother Delbert. By day's end, Delbert had confessed to suffocating his ailing sibling, but the townspeople believed Delbert was framed: Was Delbert, an uneducated hermit with a low IQ, a victim of police abuse? Was it really a mercy killing, or was there another motive? The program covers a year's span in the preparation for the ensuing trial and details how the media attention forever changed the Wards' lives; Delbert's recanted confession, and Munnsville's fervent support for him, will leave many viewers divided over Delbert's guilt or innocence."@en
