Bert and Ernie, Sesame Street residents
This documentary explores the global reach of the Sesame Street project and the challenges facing its messages of literacy, numeracy, and good-natured cooperation.

From its roots in the US civil rights movement, to its international expansion with co-productions in Bangladesh, Kosovo and South Africa, discover how social change can come from the most unlikely sources - even from a team of singing and dancing Muppets. Can the most watched childrens' television show in history truly change the world, one child at a time?

The September 5 screening will be introduced by Craig Shemin.
