Won't You Be My Neighbor?

Contrary to an email that might have been forwarded to you in the early 2000s, beloved children’s TV show host Fred McFeely Rogers was never a tattooed sniper in Vietnam. That Rogers, using a tiger puppet instead of a high-powered rifle, managed to become a hero to so many people makes him a lousy subject for an action film but an excellent role model for real life. This documentary chronicling his decadeslong crusade for public television and basic human decency couldn’t come at a better time. The film screens Saturday at Tower Theatre, 425 NW 23rd St. Tickets are $4-$8. Call 405-708-6937 or visit towertheatreokc.com.
