With the advent of social media, any and all news--fake or otherwise--exists at our beck and call at a whim. That free-flowing information may keep us updated more quickly than ever before, but all too often it brings a boatload of bad vibes along with it. An antidote to that, as relevant today as it has been for decades, is the awards-worthy kids series Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. So if you need a dose of nostalgia coupled with a cup of Feel Good, you're going to love this new trailer for the Fred Rogers documentary, Won't You Be My Neighbor?
Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville (Twenty Feet from Stardom) and released by Focus Features, Won't You Be My Neighbor? explores the late Rogers' life in a deeply meaningful way, one that goes behind the TV personality that kids and adults everywhere have come to know and love. Hopefully, when the biopic hits theaters on June 8th, it'll inspire a new generation of neighbors to be a little kinder to each other.
