A look behind the man behind the puppet who is one of the most cherished characters watched by millions of kids every day on Sesame Street. This fascinating story is of how Kevin Clash went from awkward teenager growing up in dilapidated area of Baltimore and ended up as part of Jim Henson’s team of Muppeteers and eventually taking over artistic control of Sesame St. itself. Kevin the man is as likeable as Elmo the puppet; a determined workaholic who damaged his own home life by his relentless drive to perfect his art and bring joy to so many kids around the world.
A compelling movie of a beguiling man that was a real treat to watch…… and as a plus point, it’s narrated by Ms Whoopi Goldberg, and it deservedly won a Special Jury Award at Sundance this year.
