Cinema Art Theater: ‘Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street’

May 2, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

CLICK TO VIEW TRAILER: “Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street” a delightful documentary that takes us inside the minds and hearts of creators, artists, and writers of a beloved children’s television show.

The film is a heartwarming and unprecedented look at the team who first conceived of and brought the groundbreaking “Sesame Street” to life. It features more than 20 interviews with many of the minds behind the show, as well as archival behind-the-scenes footage from its earliest days. Enjoy a look at the art of the amazing puppetry that brings it all to life and learn what it was like to be at the center of a cultural and social phenomena! [2020, US, 107 min, Rated: PG].

Chris Willman of “Variety” says “It’s hard to ask for much more that a doc that captures creatives thoughtfully sneaking the civil revolution as well as basic education into children’s TV and includes a Muppets blooper reel.” Sean Burns of “Spliced Personality” remarks, “It’s genuinely, enormously inspirational to watch this ragtag band of beatniks and beardos turning sinister Madison Avenue techniques into instruments of learning.”
