Basado en el éxito de ventas homónimo, "Street Gang" explora cómo el creador Joan Ganz Cooney, el director Jon Stone y el legendario creador de marionetas Jim Henson (entre otras figuras importantes) se unieron para crear una serie de televisión para niños que acabaría convirtiéndose en un revolucionario fenómeno cultural. Tras descubrir el poder de este medio para captar la atención de los más pequeños de la casa, estos visionarios decidieron emplear su poder para algo bueno, o lo que es lo mismo: en ofrecer contenidos de aprendizaje y no simples productos de consumo. Más de 50 años después, la serie se ha emitido en más de 150 países de todo el mundo, y sigue entreteniendo al mismo tiempo que educa a las nuevas generaciones.
