The question I couldn’t shake throughout Won’t You Be My Neighbor? is how we would treat Fred Rogers if he was still alive today.
Won’t You Be My Neighbor? arrives in select U.S. theaters this year on June 8.
While the first clip from Won’t You Be My Neighbor? (courtesy of Focus Features) touches on the “low production values [and] simple set” that made Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood an unusual television success story, it also serves to illustrate the tone of the film on the whole.
Mr. Rogers documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor? hits theaters later this year and the first clip from the film has been released online, along with the initial wave of reviews from its screening at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival over the weekend.
