Won't You Be My Neighbor?
“A little kindness makes a world of difference.”
For more than thirty years, and through his television program, Fred Rogers (1928-2003), host, producer, writer and pianist, accompanied by his puppets and his many friends, spoke directly to young children about some of life's most important issues.

Source: TMDB. Domestic/international split (~55/45, genre-typical) and the opening-weekend figure (35% of the domestic run, typical for Documentary) are MoviesRankd estimates. Profit is gross revenue minus production budget and excludes marketing — studios typically need ~2–2.5× budget to break even.
