Courtesy of the Sundance Institute"Fred Rogers was much more revolutionary for his time than people knew," says Caryn Capotosto, producer of the new documentary, Won't You Be My Neighbor?. The film by director by Morgan Neville is an official selection of the Documentary Premieres program at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. "Radical kindness" is how Capotosto described what Mr. Rogers practiced during his decades as host of his PBS children's show, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. Throughout his life, says Capotosto, Rogers questioned whether he was making enough of an impact and if it really mattered. This is despite the fact that his show had become a cultural icon and and helped raise millions and millions of children.
