"Children have very deep feelings just the way everybody does." Focus Features has debuted a second official trailer for the documentary Won't You Be My Neighbor? about Fred Rogers, made by Oscar-winning doc filmmaker Morgan Neville (of 20 Feet from Stardom). This lovely, inspiring, heartwarming film is a look at how a man tried to make the world better by figuring out how to speak to kids and teach them the importance of compassion and understanding and helpfulness. I really love this doc and I'm happy to be quoted in this trailer near the end from my Sundance review: "This is the documentary we all need right now. It's a heartwarming, rousing film about how goodness makes an impact in society. It shows us that we can make a difference if we help someone else, if we support them, and believe in them, and remind them that they are perfect just they way they are." This really is the film we all need to warm our hearts now.

Here's the second trailer for Morgan Neville's documentary Won't You Be My Neighbor?, on YouTube:
