"The Antidote" Film Screening

Join us for a light dinner, film presentation, and follow-up discussion of The Antidote January 15 at 5:30 PM in the MCMC. This feature documentary weaves together stories of kindness, decency, and the power of community in America. It’s about everyday people who make the intentional choice to lift others up, despite the fundamentally unkind ways of our society, which is a fact of life in America, yet deeply antithetical to our founding ideals.   

The film is directed by Academy Award-nominee, Kahane Cooperman, and six-time Emmy winner, John Hoffman. The Antidote aims to drive a national conversation about the roles that kindness, decency, compassion, and respect play in a civilized democratic society.
