A Real Life Being There

Brother's Keeper is quite simply one of the greatest documentaries ever made. The subject of the film Delbert Ward reminds you of a hillbilly Chauncey Gardener from the movie "Being There". Instead of being played by Peter Sellers, Delbert is a real person. Delbert has no indoor plumbing, but he does have a television, so when his life is turned upside down and Connie Chung comes to interview him that is one thing he understands. This amazing story takes place not in rural West Virginia, but in New York state. If you get the chance to see this compelling story be sure not to miss.
