Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street

When it hit the public airwaves in 1969, its use of puppetry, animation, and cultural touchstones--and shunning of commercialization--made it an immediate game-changer in the realm of children's educational television, and its status as an American institution has only grown over the decades. The genesis of "Sesame Street" and its formative years receives a warm look back in this engaging documentary, as creators and performers offer their remembrances of the set. 107 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
