Hailing from a Jewish Bronx family, Shari Hurwitz Lewis rose from playful beginnings in the ‘50s with her engaging children’s variety shows to the debut of her iconic sock-puppet, Lamb Chop, on Captain Kangaroo. A master ventriloquist, singer, dancer, and even a magician, Lewis amassed impressive accolades over the course of her career, including 13 Emmys and a Peabody, and she authored 60+ children’s books. In a male-dominated industry, Lewis transformed children’s television with an innovative, empowering style, and through Lamb Chop, voiced new notions for the women of her time. This documentary honors a visionary spirit, kindling the imaginations of dreamers and storytellers across generations.
