On Wednesday, April 20th, 2016 Jan Krawitz screened
and discussed her documentary “Perfect Strangers” at Hunter college in the Lang
Auditorium. I was definitely present. I had no expectations before seeing this
documentary. I love not knowing what to expect because it leaves no room for
disappointment.
When the documentary began I knew that I would be in for a
treat. I knew that because it was apparent that this documentary was a personal
one. I love seeing personal documentaries and films because it really gives you
an insight as to what someone could be going through.
This documentary was about a woman who gave her kidney to
someone she did not even know. The woman was nothing else but nice. She truly
embodies the epitome of a good Samaritan. She just showcased and exemplified
the characteristics of what a kind hearted person illustrates and breeds, which
is sheer kindness and bravery.
The people in her life were a little apprehensive but she
was not. She knew exactly what she wanted to do. She knew that she wanted to go
through with this process. She was brave and courageous.
Giving away your kidney is no easy task especially when you
are giving it away to someone that you do not personally know. The fact that
she did not know the recipient of her kidney was so amazing to me. I mean, who
does that these days anymore? It was so beautiful and kind. It is more than a
gesture it is life changing and literally lifesaving.
It was altogether a beautiful film that I personally did
enjoy.
