Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara were a beloved comedy team – and the parents of actor-director Ben Stiller. After the deaths of his mother and father, Stiller sought to pay tribute as few sons could: a documentary about their lives on-stage and off.

Stiller talks with Jim Axelrod about how examining the lives of two comedy greats led to re-examining his own.
