"Often people are moved to tears by
sadness, but occasionally people are moved to tears by goodness. That’s
what happens to the audiences of "Won’t You Be My Neighbor?" the new documentary about Fred Rogers.
"The documentary demonstrates how Rogers's children’s show got started and how he used it over 30 years to teach and accompany children. It describes the famous opening sequence - Mister Rogers going to the closet, putting on the sweater, changing his shoes. It describes how he gently gave children obvious and nonobvious advice: You are special just the way you are; no, children can't fall down the drains in the bathtub."
In a recent commentary, New York Times columnist David Brooks reflected on the ministry of Mr. Rogers (Rev. Fred Rogers) and on a documentary related to his ministry.
