Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street

"[It] may lightly gloss over some of the tougher elements (...), but the staggering amount of material on offer makes the case that a good heart was always meant to be the best part of the show." 

"Starts off dry, but the emotion kicks in by the end." 

"Agrelo’s sweeping look at the origins and impact of the revolutionary kids' show transcends nostalgia, documenting television and cultural history alike. (...) It’s hard to ask for much more" 

"'Sesame Street' was designed to educate instead of sell, but 'Street Gang' feels designed to sell rather than educate." 

"[It] ultimately focuses on the correct subject: the artists and educators who made “Sesame Street,” and how much of its power and influence seems an outgrowth of the unique chemistry created by those specific people, at that specific moment." 

"A remarkably likable documentary (...) but it does feel like it’s barely scratching the surface of the many stories that could be told about this production." 

"[Agrelo] does an exemplary job of storytelling as she corrals this saga into about 100 minutes (...) [It is] appropriately celebratory and thoroughly entertaining"
