We’re excited to bring the Summer Film Series to St. George for the first time with a special screening of the heartwarming Fred Rogers documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, presented in collaboration with the DOCUTAH International Documentary Film Festival. Producer Nicholas Ma will join us for a Q&A after the film, so bring your questions (and your tissues)!

Doors open at 6:00 p.m. This screening is indoors and capacity is limited, so please arrive early. RSVP is encouraged but not required. The 2018 Summer Film Series is free and open to the public—no ticket needed. 

 

About the Film
Director: Morgan Neville
Rated PG-13
Fred Rogers used puppets and play to explore complex social issues: race, disability, equality, and tragedy, helping form the American concept of childhood. He spoke directly to children and they responded enthusiastically. Yet today, his impact is unclear. Have we lived up to Fred's ideal of good neighbors?
