Won't You Be My Neighbor?
86Living historically.
The rare film that can make a house kinder in the same week. Watch it, then turn the television off and do what he did.

The review
There is almost no dirt in it, and that is not because the filmmakers failed to look. The work was the work. He took a mass medium built to agitate a child and used it to slow a child down. He spoke about assassination, about skin, about fear, in a voice that assumed a small person could bear the truth if an adult stayed in the room.
A family should watch it. Then the charge is immediate and annoying, which is how you know it is real. Speak to the child in your house, today, without a joke deflecting it, and tell them you are glad they are here. The sweater is not the point. The unhurried sentence is the point.

The eight
- 8Industry

- 8Household
The neighborhood is a picture of a safe house. His own work was the long attention.

The theology is in the method: a child is a neighbor, not a market.
- 7Courage
He said the hard thing, including about death and divorce, without raising his voice.
- 8Republic
A public address to children that refused to flatter them or scare them for profit.
- 10Temperance
The whole method is restraint. Silence is allowed on television.
- 9Truth
He meant what he said to the camera, and the film does not find the secret cruelty.
- 10Stewardship
What he handed children was a sentence: you are a person, and I am glad you are here.
