Connection
Joe Berlinger is a Actor, Director, Scriptwriter, Producer, Director of Photography and Editor American born on 30 october 1961
Oscar-nominated Joseph "Joe" Berlinger (born October 30, 1961) is an American documentary film-maker who, in collaboration with Bruce Sinofsky, has created such films as Paradise Lost about the West Memphis 3, Brother's Keeper, Some Kind of Monster, and Crude.
In collaboration with journalist Greg Milner, Berlinger has also written a book called Metallica: This Monster Lives, which is about his journey from making the poorly received Blair Witch 2 to creating Some Kind of Monster with Metallica, one of the world's most famous metal bands.
Berlinger has also worked on TV series such as Homicide: Life on the Street, D.C. and FanClub.
The first movie Berlinger directed, in 1992, was the documentary Brother's Keeper, which tells the story of Delbart Ward, an elderly man in Munnsville, New York, who was charged with second-degree murder following the death of his brother William. Chicago Tribune film critic Roger Ebert, in his review of the movie, called it "an extraordinary documentary about what happened next, as a town banded together to stop what folks saw as a miscarriage of justice."
He graduated from Colgate University in 1983. He lives with his wife and daughters in New York.
After spending $1.3 million on legal fees over footage for his documentary "Crude," Berlinger expressed concerns about being able to make documentaries about legal cases in the future.

Delbert, Bill, Lyman et Roscoe Ward vivent depuis toujours dans la même ferme de quarante hectares, au milieu de l'état de New-York. Ils ont entre cinquante-neuf ans et soixante et onze ans. Célibataires naïfs et presque illettrés, ils occupent deux pièces dans une cabane délabrée, sans eau courante, ni téléphone. Depuis leur enfance, Delbert et Bill partagent le même lit. La nuit du 6 juin 1990, Bill est retrouvé mort dans son lit. Le matin, Delbert est arrêté ; il a avoué le meurtre de Bill par étouffement. Pendant dix mois, il clame son innocence malgré ses premiers aveux. Les 499 habitants de Munnsville pensent que Delbert a signé un document qu'il ne savait pas lire. Ils organisent sa défense et récoltent 10 000 dollars pour le faire libérer sous caution. Le procès s'ouvre le 18 Mars 1991.
