Twitter Capsule:
Superbly constructed film-clip/talking-head style biographical documentary paints a reverent but dimensional portrait of children's TV icon Fred Rogers, a man of deep faith but also pragmatic doubt. Both timely and nostalgic; heartwarming yet melancholy. Stays with you whereas most celebrity bio-docs fade quickly.
