To Give or Not to Give by S. Kumar and Malgorzata Skiba
A film on organ donation in India. This life saving practice is being challenged by the lack of awareness and misconceptions. It is in the same country, however, that history has been created in a small village in Kerala - Pootharakkal - where the entire adult population has formally pledged to donate their organs after their death.
