The film, produced by CU-ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ graduates James Redford (son of Robert Redford) and Maro Chermayeff, delves into organ donation and transplants from the personal perspective of recipients, donors and their families.

The documentary, to be shown Thursday, Oct. 14, at 3:15 p.m. in the new Humanities Building, basement auditorium, will be followed by a discussion.

"Ms. Chermayeff and Mr. Redford will lead a discussion after the documentary," said Janet Jones Johnson, events planner for CU-ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ’s College of Arts and Sciences.

Throughout the documentary, Redford and Chermayeff follow four transplant patients and two families who made the decision to donate their loved onesÂ’ organs. Redford is the recipient of a transplanted liver.

Parking for the screening is available at the Euclid Avenue Autopark. The event is free and open to the public. For more information call Janet Jones Johnson at (303) 492-0754.
