The Radical Kindness of “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood”
The documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” has appeared in the midst of a resurgence of interest in Mr. Rogers, fueled by a growing hunger for kindness in a world that has become increasingly angry and cynical.

They identified her vulnerability and need for connection, and they skillfully exploited it.
