Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

"This documentary paints a portrait of the philosophy and work of cardigan-wearing children’s entertainer Fred Rogers, star of the popular show “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.” A former minister, Mister Rogers creatively communicated themes of empathy and acceptance using a colorful cast of puppets and friends for more than 30 years. Along with archival footage, Rogers’ contemporaries and castmates reflect on his legacy. Directed by Morgan Neville. " ~ Kaitlin Elise Miller, Rovi
