The acclaimed documentary “Kindness is Contagious” will be shown twice this coming Friday.
The Sun Valley Community School’s Parents’ Association will host two free public screenings of the documentary at 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5, in the school’s theatre.
The film profiles cutting-edge scientists and best-selling authors from Berkeley to Harvard, as well as people from all walks of life. They include a street performer, soup kitchen volunteer, police officer, model, baseball player, concert pianist and roller girl who have learned for themselves that kindness is contagious.
The film purports to show how a little generosity can help everyone live happier, healthier, wealthier, longer and more fulfilling lives. And it offers concrete ways in which everyone can make a difference in the world.
The feel-good documentary was created by international creative director, filmmaker and photographer David Gaz. It’s narrated by Catherine Ryan Hyde, the best-selling author of the novel and film “Pay It Forward.”
