STREET GANG: HOW WE GOT TO SESAME STREET is a US documentary film about the long-running children's educational television series.

language
There is mild and very mild bad language such as 'shit', 'bastard', 'screw', 'hell', 'damn' and 'God'.
discrimination
There are references to racism within the context of the Civil Rights movement in the US; one sequence offers an account of resistance to the television series owing to its racially diverse and integrated cast of performers. A female television producer briefly speaks of overcoming chauvinism common at the time.
rude humour
In an outtake, a puppet cracks a joke about having sex but there is no detail and no accompanying visual.
There is a brief montage of documentary footage from the Vietnam war, whilst an explosion is visible there is no further detail; other archival imagery includes coverage of Civil Right protests in the USA. There are moments of very mild comic violence in clips from the television series. There are commercials for alcohol as well as scenes in which people smoke, however the work itself does not promote these activities. There are also references to bereavement and depression but the presentation is very mild.
