Description

Director Penny Lane’s decision to become a “Good Samaritan” by giving one of her kidneys to a complete stranger turns into a funny and moving personal quest to understand the nature of altruism. The film is a provocative inquiry into the science, history and ethics of organ transplantation, asking an ancient question in a whole new way: Who is your neighbor, and what do you owe them.
