This is one of the best and most touching documentaries I've seen. There are so many moments of genuine humor as well as moments of intense grief and heartbreak. I've never forgotten this movie since I stumbled onto it on PBS one night many years ago. I have, and will continue to recommend this film to others. Writing this review reminds me that I really need to watch this movie again! The first time I saw it I came into the movie midway and was instantly drawn into the story. My husband came into the room and asked what I was watching and after watching with me for a few minutes was also engaged. You might not think a documentary about organ donation would be so intense and gripping but this one truly is. 10/10!

This story really speaks to the heart of the human condition. Regardless of your age or background, this movie speaks to everyone.
The cast is likable, and you end up really liking them. Crying for them, Laughing with them, laughing at them, rooting for them, fear for them, and in my case, enjoying the music as well. I actually found 2 new bands for my collection. I don't think I could ask for anything more!
I saw it at the SF film fest, and everyone in the theater was mesmerized.
It's worth a viewing, at home or in the theater - it definitely ranks as one of the better doc's out there.
