This story of the man behind the lovable Elmo, Kevin Clash, is heart-warming and inspiring. I grew up watching puppets on Sesame Street and other programs and this film is as much a story of educational television and the remarkable learning/teaching technique of puppetry as it is about Clash. More people should know who these incredibly kind and talented performers are.
