Won't you be my neighbor?

Even if you do not think you are looking for a very sweet walk down memory lane, I highly recommend the documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” which is a wonderfully enjoyable story of the life, times, and considerable accomplishments of Fred Rogers. The filmmakers must have worked with a small budget because much of the old film footage is poor quality; I assume these days there are ways to fix that but they must involve significant and costly effort. If anything, though, the poor quality contributes to the charm of Fred Rogers, who was able to communicate simple ideas so wonderfully to children and adults.

Even if this film is not playing anywhere near you, I would imagine that it will eventually be shown on PBS stations around the country.

What better time is there than now, when the news is flooded with anger and suffering and negativity, to be reminded of the simple joys in life?

Love,

Rebecca
