To mark the 50th anniversary of the forced integration of Central High School, Little Rock natives Brent and Craig Renaud provide a candid look at the lives of contemporary Central High students. The HBO documentary explores the legacy of desegregation and the challenges facing American education today.

In 2005, their HBO documentary Dope Sick Love (co-directed with Felice Conte) followed two drug-addicted couples on the streets of New York City for 18 months, and was nominated for an Emmy Award for Best Documentary.  Today, Dope Sick Love is used extensively by social workers and drug rehabilitation centers around the country as an educational tool.  The Renaud brothers also directed and produced the award-winning series Off to War, which marked the first time in the history of television that a single unit of soldiers was followed throughout an entire deployment at war. The Renaud brothers were nominated as best directors by the Directors Guild of America for the series.
