BEING ELMO:PUPPETEER'S JOURNEY

"Beloved by millions of children around the world, Elmo is an international icon. However, few people know the soft-spoken man behind the furry red monster: Kevin Clash. Narrated by Whoopi Goldberg, BEING ELMO: A PUPPETEERS JOURNEY follows Clashs remarkable career, while also offering a behind-the-scenes look at Sesame Street and the Jim Henson Workshop. As a teenager growing up in Baltimore in the 1970s, Clash had very different aspirations from his classmates - he wanted to be a part of Hensons team, the creative force responsible for delivering the magic of Sesame Street on a daily basis. With a supportive family behind him, Kevin made his dreams come true. Winner, 2011 Black Film Critics Circle Award. Special Jury Prize, Sundance Film Festival.
