Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band (BBC 4 Friday 2 June 2023)

Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band airs Friday 2 June 2023 on BBC 4.

Robbie Robertson’s autobiography is an honest, sobering, and occasionally funny account of how he came to form The Band, one of the most influential bands in rock music history. It’s a touching tale of Robertson’s life, how he overcame adversity and found brotherhood with the four other men who would become his brothers in music, and how they all left their mark on the world of music. Rare archival footage, photography, iconic songs, and interviews with Robertson’s friends and collaborators like Martin Scorsese, Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, and more make up the bulk of this film.

Season 1 Episode 4
