We invite community members, faculty, and students to the LU campus cinema next week for special showings of the documentary film “Won’t You Be My Neighbor.”
The film asks audiences to consider Fred Roger’s advocacy for childhood through children’s television programming. His messages of kindness, love, and concern for children and their emotional well-being impacted generations of children and adults. How might his legacy impact our own work in our communities today?
Showings will occur at midnight Friday Sept. 28, and on Saturday Sept. 29 at 2pm and 8pm.
Immediately following the Saturday, 2pm showing, faculty from the LU Education and Psychology Departments will conduct a community conversation and Q/A on “Kindness, Childhood, and Building a Community.” Refreshments provided.
These special showings are generously sponsored by The John and Sally Mielke Community Collaboration Program and SOUP.
