Artist's Salon featuring Jan Krawitz on her film "Perfect Strangers"

DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND - CHANGE OF VENUE TO LEVINTHAL HALL, HUMANITIES CENTER.  JUST A SHORT WALK FROM SERRA HOUSE. 

Please join us for the Institute's Winter Artist's Salon featuring Professor Jan Krawitz, who will be discussing her film "Perfect Strangers." Light refreshments will be served.    Perfect Strangers raises questions about what motivates an individual towards an extreme act of compassion. The film tells the story of two unique and engaging characters. Ellie embarks on an unpredictable journey of twists and turns, determined to give away one of her kidneys. Five hundred miles away, Kathy endures nightly dialysis and loses hope of receiving a transplant until Ellie reads her profile on an online website. Both women face unexpected challenges as their parallel stories unfold over the course of four years.
