AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A powerful documentary by Paul Cox, this film provides a unique insight into the lives of organ recipients, their time spent on waiting lists, their operations and the everyday realities of living with an organ from a deceased person.

...

'This raw and unguarded film communicates the incredible gift one gives when choosing to become an organ donor. Auteur filmmaker Paul Cox had a liver transplant on Boxing Day 2009 without which he would probably not be alive today. The documentary was shot at a Christmas Dinner Party on Saturday 18th December 2010 at which a small group of recipients gathered. Dinner guests share their stories, reminisce and celebrate the great gift of life given to them. The conversation is raw, unguarded and truly insightful.'
