“Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” takes an intimate look at America’s favorite neighbor: Mister Fred Rogers. This emotional and moving film takes us beyond the zippered cardigans, Sperry sneakers and the land of make-believe, and into the heart of a creative genius who inspired generations of children and adults through his compassion and imagination. Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville (“20 Feet from Stardom”).
