Jim Henson and Jon Stone were working on concepts that became Sesame Street (1969) during the production of this documentary.
The filmmakers had access to NBC's then state-of-the-art production facilities for the creation of the elaborate chroma key effects and overlays.
One of the rarest Jim Henson projects. Has never been released on home video or streaming platforms. A copy can be viewed at the Paley Center (formerly the Museum of Television and Radio) in New York City, it was screened at the 92YTribeca twice in 2009, and an HD scan of the 16mm kinescope was recently screened at the Museum of the Moving Image on September 30, 2018.
The best-quality version of the film known to exist is a 16mm kinescope made by NBC, which has been transferred to high definition.. The whereabouts of higher-quality film elements of the finished program are unknown.
The Vietnam war and student protest footage came from NBC's news division.
