Film Overview
Some people donate to charity. Some people may even donate blood. But who donates a kidney to a total stranger? THE CHAIN follows unrelated individuals as they give their own kidneys to complete strangers in return for a family member in need receiving a compatible kidney from another complete stranger. In this case, one kind woman generously gives one of her kidneys to a man who is in need of a kidney for the second time. Her gift not only saves one life, but also starts a chain of kidney transplants, positively impacting the lives of multiple families. In doing so, these strangers are forever bonded in this ultimately beautiful story of Paying It Forward.
