An intimate portrait of the film pioneers who founded and ran Warner Brothers studios for over half a century, The Brothers Warner is the inside story of Harry Warner and his three brothers, who rose from abject poverty as American immigrants through personal tragedies and persevered to create a major film studio with a social conscience. This epic story of success against enormous odds is told through the eyes and voice of Harry Warner’s granddaughter and filmmaker, Cass Warner, and includes never before seen photos and footage from the Warner family archives.
