The true story behind one of the greatest songs ever recorded. In 1961, Columbia junior Sandy Greenberg went blind. He went home and nearly gave up. His roommate flew in, called himself "Darkness," read him his textbooks, and refused to let him disappear. That roommate was Art Garfunkel. Sandy came back, graduated Phi Beta Kappa and class president, and years later wired Art the $400 that was nearly everything he and his wife had — so Art could go make music with his friend Paul. Wayfarer Studios brings it to theaters in 2027. Inspirational true stories have opened everywhere from quiet indie numbers to breakout hits. Where does this one land? Learn more

Who doesn't love a true story about friendship, sacrifice, and overcoming? Icing on the cake – it's about Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Art Garfunkel. Laura Linney, Levon Hawke and Sam Rechner – a great cast for this 1960s film. If any of you are unfamiliar with Simon & Garfunkel – check them out. Timeless. Just like we expect this film to be.
