While their songs were loved, the brothers did not get along, and their rift led to their sons not even knowing that they had family members living nearby. Their sons, Gregory and Jeff, made this documentary that tells the story of Robert and Richard's unique relationship that, despite their estrangement, produced cherished, classic music.
