One of the best films of 1992, this acclaimed documentary focuses on the alleged murder in June 1990 of 64-year-old Bill Ward by his brother Delbert, 59, a simple dairy farmer whose defense became a rallying cause for the citizens of Munnsville, a tiny farming community in central New York. Known by all of Munnsville as harmless hermits, the Ward brothers (also including Lyman and Roscoe) live an 18th-century lifestyle in their tiny, grimy shack, sleeping in the same bed through cold winters and tending daily to their hayfields and livestock. Semiliterate and stunted by minimal exposure to the outside world, the Wards are disheveled children in the bodies of aging men; and when Delbert is charged with suffocating his ailing brother Bill, he's a prime target for legal manipulation and a media circus that's immediately drawn to his case. Filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky spent nearly a year with the Wards and the Munnsville citizens who rallied to Delbert's defense, and their efforts prove that reality is often more compelling than even the richest fictional drama. As a slice-of-life study of eccentricity, country-folk stereotypes, small-town wisdom, and the power of the media, Brother's Keeper is funny, fascinating, and full of compassionate humanity. It's also a riveting courtroom mystery with characters that no casting director could improve upon, tracking the course of justice while leaving the viewer to mull over the truth behind Delbert Ward's alleged crime. --Jeff Shannon

A look at emotions and autism: Can people with autism feel love and heart-break the same way non-autistic people do? ABC News Nightline correspondent John Donvan profiles Paul DeSavino, a 36-year-old New Jersey man living with autism who says he's in love. But does he really know what it means to be in love and to connect? His mother, Marlene, describes how his condition makes it more difficult for him to connect with others. "He goes off into his own little world and that's the difficult part in having a relationship. It's because he leaves them. He could leave them cold and he can't open himself up. He doesn't know how to do that yet." In part two of John's series, it's not a story about those who have autism but those touched by it. The people linked to autism because their brothers and sisters have it. You'll meet a remarkable young man who's honest about how autism has changed his life but who is filled with so much love and devotion for his brother that it's inspiring.
