‘A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,’ indeed

·

Despite having aired its final episode nearly 20 years ago, there’s something about “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” and its titular, real-life protagonist that seems particularly relevant today. Just last year, Oscar-winning documentarian Morgan Neville explored Fred Rogers’ life and legacy in “Won’t You Be My Neighbor,” a poignant film that implored its audience to try a little kindness because the world needs our kindness now more than ever. It was a very special film that could melt the heart of anyone who watched it. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
