Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood became highly successful (despite being the exact opposite of what normally succeeded on TV). Some of you may remember watching this show as a child. Mr. Rogers was able to connect viscerally with children through this show. One of my favorite scenes in this film was when Mr. Rogers testified in Congress. When Nixon became president, he wanted to kill funding for PBS. Mr. Rogers’ testimony saved it. Can you imagine what would happen if Mr. Rogers testified in Congress today? Frankly, everyone in Congress and the current administration should watch this movie. They could learn a lot about kindness and empathy and compassion. In these negative times, this positive movie has a lot to offer.
