Things don't get much weirder than what happens in this troubling documentary, set in rural New York State. It focuses on the Ward brothers, a group of hick farmers who are disconnected from all things female or modern. One of the brothers has turned up dead, and it may have been a natural occurrence, or he may have been euthanized by his brother. Oh, and . . . ahem . . . there may have been a sexual relationship between the brothers (good golly). The story of the prosecution and the reactions of neighbors and the media are fascinating. The filmmakers got a lot of cooperation from all involved, so the viewer gets to see many sides of the story. This really is a unique film. Morgan Spurlock said in an interview that this was his favorite film, and that made me want to see it.

Provides engaging insights into the background of this supposed murder case as well as sheds light on the judgment of uneducated beings under a criminal light.
