WEEK 19: A DOCUMENTARY

Review: In America Fred Rogers was an icon. He had an impact on so many lives, due to his positive look on life and the way he thought things to children that they didn’t learn about in school. “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” is a documentary about this extraordinary man.

It’s not a film for cynics. This biographical documentary about American children’s television pioneer and ultimate goody-goody Fred Rogers. Or perhaps just for cynics, because Rogers’ tireless mission to foster love, understanding and honesty was not only very sweet but also deniably powerful. The fact that he must have been completely unique and authentic makes this appropriately calm mix of interviews and archive footage entirely credible.

Fred Rogers was such an inspiration to many and “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” is a beautiful and lovely documentary, also for those who don’t know Rogers that well.

Rating: 4,5/ 5
