Won’t You Be My Neighbor

Directed by: Morgan Neville; 94 mins., PG-13

From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville (20 Feet from Stardom), Won’t You Be My Neighbor? takes an intimate look at America’s favorite neighbor: Mister Fred Rogers. A portrait of a man whom we all think we know, this emotional and moving film takes us beyond the zip-up cardigans and the land of make-believe, and into the heart of a creative genius who inspired generations of children with compassion and limitless imagination. “As Oscar winner Morgan Neville’s timely, tear-duct lubricating documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” makes clear, the easily parodied, often underestimated icon of children’s television was a total badass.” —Mary Elizabeth Williams, Salon.com.
