Don't confuse the subject matter with the documentary itself. Fred Rogers, the man, was ahead of his time and was an example of kindness and goodness, becoming the most important and influential teacher of all time, teaching children of all ages. But, frankly, I was disappointed in this documentary, overall. It showed great footage of Mister Rogers asking for PBS funds and in his quiet time for himself. As I have read "The Good Neighbor," (the newly released biography of Fred Rogers, I know he had quite a sense of humor and he liked to shock or surprise people. But there is a time and place for it, and this was supposed to be family-friendly. Instead it comes across as common. The less said the better. I understand why this was not nominated for an Oscar. It didn't deserve it. For Fred Rogers, the man, I give a '10.' For this, a '2.' In between a '6.'
