There was a man, who, with his close-knit band of brothers, epitomizes in his
pioneering efforts to use mass media to educate, entertain, and enlighten.It was
his personal belief that, ‘Those who make a nation’s entertainment have obligations
above and beyond their primary commercial objective, which is the box
office. Films were often produced from stories ripped from news headlines. This
is the inside story of Harry Warner and his brothers their scrappy rise from nothing;
their efforts to make a difference in the world; and their ability to overcome
personal tragedies and huge odds to achieve their goals. The Brothers Warner is
told through the eyes and voice of Harry Warner’s granddaughter, Cass Warner.
