Inspired by Robbie Robertson’s 2017 bestselling memoir “Testimony,” Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band “deeply dissects The Band’s magic and dysfunction” (Rolling Stone) and arrives on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital on May 26 from Magnolia Home Entertainment. Presenting a backstage view of The Band’s inner workings and offering audiences an unseen look at their impact on the music industry, the documentary chronicles Robbie’s introduction to music and the group’s revolutionary collaboration with Bob Dylan, to their final tour as one of the most influential groups of their era.
From director Daniel Roher (Survivors Rowe), Once Were Brothers unravels the compelling story of the popular rock ‘n’ roll band alongside Robbie and those closest to The Band, including Martin Scorsese, Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Taj Mahal, Ronnie Hawkins and more. Told through rarely seen archival footage, images and interviews from The Band’s expansive career, and elevated by hit songs from the group, the documentary “captures something golden, incendiary and wistfully beautiful” (The Washington Post). A tribute that will withstand the ages, Once Were Brothers will captivate audiences and provide a deeper understanding of the group’s influence on popular music today.
