What Parents Need to Know
About The World According to Sesame Street
Parents need to know that this is a serious documentary. It's not a collection of skits from the kids' TV series, nor is it geared toward younger Sesame Street fans. It examines how the show is produced in other countries and tackles complex issues such as poverty, war, and ethnic discrimination. Specifically, the film shows rioting in Bangladesh and Kosovo, images of South Africans suffering from HIV and AIDS, and burial scenes.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the featured countries differ from the United States. What makes their cultures unique? How do you think Sesame Street producers decide what to change when they export the show to other nations? How can something as simple as a TV show help the kids in those countries?

An eye-opening docmentary
This documentary isn't for little kids even though it's about Sesame Street. No, this documentary is about what Sesame Street is like around the world in countries with issues such as poverty, AIDS and HIV, hunger, and racial hatred. It's very interesting. This movie would be rated PG-13 if it had a rating because it has some images of warfare and burial as well as two uses of the s-word. But still, this documentary is such an eye-opener. I even cried at some points. If you can handle the small amount of bad content you should watch this video.
