Film: Won't You Be My Neighbor Thursday, January 17, 7:00pm Though he may be best known today as a soft-spoken, cardigan-wearing children’s television host, in reality, Fred Rogers’ career represents a sustained attempt to present a coherent, beneficent view about how we should best speak to children about important matters and how television could be used as a positive force in our society. In Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, Academy Award-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville looks back on the legacy of Fred Rogers, focusing on his radically kind ideas. Rated PG-13; 94 minutes Partial funding is provided by the Warren County Cultural and Heritage Commission. Movie License #196808001
