2021 Sundance Film Festival Review – Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street
Directed by Marilyn Agrelo.
There will surely never again be a children’s TV phenom on the scale of
Sesame Street – and the abundance of choice afforded by modern streaming services can only partially explain that. Orson Welles famously called it “the best thing that ever happened to television,” and today, it remains a rarest of legacy TV shows to endure over more than a half-century without becoming a dusty relic, or worse, problematic.
Marilyn Agrelo’s documentary
Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street combines new interviews with the show’s focal creative figures with a superbly-researched array of behind-the-scenes archive footage alongside charming clips from the series itself.
