CONFESSIONS OF A GOOD SAMARITAN

Produced as part of the Executive Production team at Sandbox Films (Associate Producer).

Director: Penny Lane

Producer: Gabriel Sedgwick

2023

Director Penny Lane’s decision to become a “Good Samaritan” by giving one of her kidneys to a stranger – someone she’s never met, and never will meet – launches her on a provocative, intimate, and unexpectedly funny quest to understand the nature of altruism. Confessions of a Good Samaritan 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?
