Los que crecimos fuera de EE UU no sabemos de la trascendencia de Mr. Rogers, uno de los personajes televisivos más conocidos para millones de espectadores que crecieron con él, símbolo de la labor educativa de la televisión pública. Fred Rogers consiguió con su alegato a favor de la educación de la infancia a través del respeto que el gobierno de EE UU siguiera financiando la PBS, la televisión pública. Ideó un plató que representaba un barrio de clase media, en el que las marionetas planteaban cuestiones actuales que se resolvían con naturalidad. La guerra de Vietnam, la lucha por los derechos civiles o el asesinato de Robert Kennedy fueron algunos de los sucesos que marcaron la historia de EE UU y que pasaron por el vecindario del Mr. Rogers.

An amazing documentary about a person I knew nothing about at first, but now I think that he was amazing. Fred Rogers was able to make children equal partners, and in every decade of its existence his show was perhaps the perfect, functional counterpart of mass entertainment offered to children by other stations. Rogers, as an empathetic psychologist and philosopher who certainly did not negate the spiritual in himself, was able to convey not only basic moral values to children through various metaphors, but also events like the Bobby Kennedy murder, the Vietnam War, racial segregation, and the tragedy of the Space Shuttle Challenger, which most people could not talk about to children. His uniqueness stood out the more his opponents tried to reveal what he was “really like." No one could understand that Rogers really was like that. I recommend this engaging and superbly crafted documentary to everyone who wants to get to know an incredible person.
