'Once Were Brothers : Robbie Robertson And The Band' (2019) is a documentary about musician Robbie Robertson and his time playing with the Hawks and the Band. It's inspired by Robertson's memoir, 'Testimony' (2016), and co-produced by filmmakers Ron Howard and Martin Scorsese.

Band members Rick Danko, Levon Helm and Richard Manuel are no longer with us, and Garth Hudson isn't among the contributors to this documentary. Contributors include Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, John Hammond, Ronnie Hawkins, Taj Mahal, Van Morrison and Bruce Springsteen, as well as George Harrison via an interview plucked from the archives. It occasionally threatens to become a puff piece and offers only one side of a multi-faceted story, but there's plenty of archive footage to enjoy and Robertson's an engaging host.
"Although this music documentary about Robbie Robertson and the Band is directed by Canadian film-maker Daniel Roher, the great Martin Scorsese takes an executive producer credit and is also interviewed briefly on screen. Sure enough, Once Were Brothers feels a lot like one of Scorsese’s distinctive rock docs, particularly The Last Waltz, his 1978 record of the Band’s last live gig – with crisper digital photography and nearly the same star power in the lineup of interviewees."
