Brother's Keeper (film) Brother's Keeper is a 1992 documentary directed by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky.
The film is about an alleged 1990 murder in the village of Munnsville, New York. The film is in the "Direct Cinema" style of the Maysles brothers, who had formerly employed Berlinger and Sinofsky. The film contrasts two groups of society; people from rural areas and those from larger cities. It also exhibits how the media flocked to the town to cover the story.
This movie displays two completely opposite views of the Ward brothers. The Ward sister was not featured in this film because of her death in the 1980s. In a rural farming community near Syracuse, New York, four brothers lived in a dilapidated house. William Ward, who had been ill for years, was found dead one morning. Delbert Ward died at age 66 at Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown on August 6, 1998.[1] Roscoe Ward died at age 88 on June 23, 2007.[2][3] Lyman Ward died at age 85 in Utica, New York on 15 August 2007.[4][5] Murder on a Sunday Morning. Murder on a Sunday Morning (French: Un coupable idéal) is a documentary film by French filmmaker Jean-Xavier de Lestrade.
Its subject is the Brenton Butler case, a criminal case in which a fifteen-year-old boy was wrongfully accused of murder. The film won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 74th Academy Awards in 2001.[1] Brenton Butler was arrested and tried for the 2000 murder of a tourist in Jacksonville, Florida. The prosecution's case relied heavily upon a positive identification made by the victim's husband, and on Butler's confession, which the teen claimed was coerced. The film follows Butler's defense team building their case for his innocence. References[edit] External links[edit] Murder on a Sunday Morning at the Internet Movie Database. The Gleaners and I. The Gleaners and I (French: Les glaneurs et la glaneuse, "The gleaners and the female gleaner") is a French documentary by Agnès Varda that features various kinds of gleaning.
It was entered into competition at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival ("Official Selection 2000"), and later went on to win awards around the world. The Subjects[edit] The film tracks a series of gleaners as they hunt for food, knicknacks, thrown away items, and personal connection. Varda travels the French countryside as well as the city to find and film not only field gleaners, but also urban gleaners and those connected to gleaners, including a wealthy restaurant owner whose ancestors were gleaners. The film spends time capturing the many aspects of gleaning and the many people who glean to survive. This film has an unexpected brief interview with the psychoanalyst Jean Laplanche, plus follow-ups segments on some of the featured people.

It was nominated as an "Out of Competition" film at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival [1] and achieved commercial success.[2] The film became the subject of an unsuccessful legal action by the school's teacher, who said that he and the children's parents had been misled about the film's intended audience, and that he and the children had been exploited.
The documentary's title translates as "to be and to have", the two auxiliary verbs in the French language. It is about a primary school in the commune of Saint-Étienne-sur-Usson, Puy-de-Dôme, France, the population of which is just over 200. The school has one small class of mixed ages (from four to twelve years), with a dedicated teacher, Mr Lopez, who shows patience and respect for the children as we follow their story through a single school year.
