Focus Features Celebrates Mister Rogers Birthday With New Look At WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?

Life Magazine shoot: WQED studio. Fred Rogers and David Newell, as Speedy Delivery’s Mr. McFeely, stand on the front porch set while filming an episode of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.

“WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR? serves as both a deeply moving tribute to one of life’s greatest teachers but also as an important reminder of the power of kindness.” Michael Haffner praised the upcoming documentary in his recent TRUE/FALSE Film Fest review. Mister Rogers was truly a light in the world and would have celebrated his 90th birthday this week. Focus Features has released a brand new trailer.

From Academy Award® -winning filmmaker Morgan Neville (20 Feet from Stardom), Won’t You Be My Neighbor? takes an intimate look at America’s favorite neighbor: Mister Fred Rogers. A portrait of a man whom we all think we know, this emotional and moving film takes us beyond the zip-up cardigans and the land of make-believe, and into the heart of a creative genius who inspired generations of children with compassion and limitless imagination.

Focus Features will release WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR? in select theaters on June 8th, 2018.
