Who is Elmo? Elmo is joyous. Elmo is love. Elmo is Kevin Clash. Long before his furry red friend became an international superstar, Clash discovered his passion in life. At nine he sat inches away from his television set, transfixed by a new show called Sesame Street. Clash spent the next nine years constructing puppets and entertaining the neighborhood kids in suburban Baltimore. His talent and conviction made him unstoppable. Through incredible footage and thoughtful interviews, we follow Kevin on his journey from a small show at the local TV station to Captain Kangaroo, before his inevitable arrival on that street we all know and love. When a frustrated fellow puppeteer tossed him a character named Elmo he just couldn't figure out, the rest was history. Drawing on the loving support of his family and an undeniable gift, Clash found the voice and essence that infused Elmo with a spirit that enchanted the world. Ages 4+ —Kristine Kolton
