Synopsis

Cousins Jeff and Greg Sherman explore their unusual family history in this documentary about their fathers, Robert and Richard Sherman. Their dads cowrote enduring songs for popular movies such as "Mary Poppins" and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang." Sadly, they later had a bitter falling-out that led to Jeff and Greg being unaware of each other's existence even though they were practically neighbors growing up.
