The World According to Sesame Street
Friday, October 13, 2006


This insightful documentary from Participant Productions, which premiered at Sundance, examines the challenges and complexities of exporting the Muppets to such places as Bangladesh, Kosovo, and South Africa. The Sesame Street denizens show that education can still thrive in countries devastated by war, AIDS, or poverty, and that intercultural dialogue is a force that can help change the world.
