Though no mere documentary film can do full justice to the history of Sesame Street, Marilyn Agrelo's Street Gang nevertheless delivers an affecting, densely-packed celebration of the legendary TV series.

Through interviews with practically every pivotal surviving member of the show's creation, this is an authoritative, often hilarious, and incredibly sweet love letter to a show whose purity is matched only by its forward-thinking ambition.

Laced with nostalgia but absolutely earning it, Street Gang will be an irresistible watch for Sesame Street fans, and perhaps even those who aren't. Don't miss it.

Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street will be distributed by HBO.
