We watched a documentary last night called "Brother's Keeper". The Netflix description of it is:


This acclaimed documentary explores the odd world of the four elderly Ward brothers -- illiterate farmers who have lived their entire lives in a dilapidated two-room shack. When William Ward dies in the bed he shared with his brother Delbert, the police become suspicious. Citing motives ranging from sex crime to euthanasia, they arrest Delbert for murder, penetrating the isolated world that left "the boys" forgotten eccentrics for many years.


The whole truth doesn't completely come out by the end of the movie, but it was still very thought-provoking and heartbreaking. They live in rural New York, which was a surprise, and the interviews with people from the nearby community were fascinating to me. Watching the coverage of the trial was interesting, as well as seeing the little blurbs from the news stations that aired at the time, because it was in 1990, so the clothes and the hairstyles were sort of fun to see. There were a few touching and lighthearted parts sprinkled throughout what was otherwise a shocking look at a world that most of us don't have reason to think about much.
