"The Brothers Warner"

For those who love movies and the history of filmmaking, this terrific documentary is one that you will really enjoy. Written, directed and narrated by Cass Warner Sperling, Harry Warner's granddaughter, the documentary has been honored at 33 film festivals and has won eight awards. The program, based on Sperling's best-selling book, provides an inside look at the four Warner Brothers and how they went from starting their first storefront theater to creating one of the top studios in America.

Brothers Harry, Albert, Sam and Jack each brought their vision of the world to the venture. Warner Brothers was the first socially conscious company to take topics for screenplays out of the headlines of newspapers.

Sperling spent 30 years researching personal archives and doing interviews with relatives, actors, executives and others with ties to the studio.
