National Board Of Review Awards
The National Board of Review of Motion Pictures is a non-profit organization of New York City area film enthusiasts. Its awards, which are announced in early December, are considered an early harbinger of the film awards season that culminates in the Academy Awards.

It quickly became known as the National Board of Motion Picture Censorship. In an effort to avoid government censorship of films, the National Board became the unofficial clearinghouse for new movies. The Board's stated purpose was to endorse films of merit and champion the new "art of the people", which was transforming America's cultural life. In March 1916 the Board changed its name to the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures to avoid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The film is in the " Direct Cinema" style of the Maysles brothers, who had formerly employed Berlinger and Sinofsky.

The other is that of the press, who stereotype the brothers as poor, uneducated hill people. The Ward sister was not featured in this film because of her death in the 1980s. However, her daughter Pat makes an appearance in the DVD's special features. Production After its theatrical run, ''Brother's Keeper'' aired on PBS as part of the series ''American Playhouse''. T ...
