ABUNDANT
Documentary Film Screening
Saturday, May 17, 2025
2:00 PM
AMC Theater (Mayfair Mall) – 2500 N Mayfair Rd Suite M186, Wauwatosa, WI 53226
Join in as NKFW hosts the Wisconsin premiere of “ABUNDANT”, a documentary film screening chronicling stories of living kidney donation. Registration open now!
“ABUNDANT is a documentary film that follows the unbelievable events that occurred when a cast of kidney donors came together to create a live staged storytelling show.
ABUNDANT enters the world of extreme altruism: non-directed kidney donation where people donate kidneys to complete strangers. Through touching personal stories and illuminating interviews with nationally-acclaimed experts, ABUNDANT explores how our culture struggles with abundance and what we can do to become more altruistic as a community.”
