CrowdSource for Life
Who gives a kidney to a stranger?
On September 23, 2023, CrowdSource for Life will answer that question in a unique stage performance at The Majestic Theater in Dallas, Texas. This rare one-time event features first-person monologues by our country’s most extreme altruist... non-directed kidney donors... and the entire event will be recorded live for the documentary feature film, Abundant.

Abundant - Documentary Film
“As I assembled our incredibly talented production team for Abundant, I looked for people who first say “yes” and who say, “Why not?” rather than ask “Why?”. This attitude is the fuel that met the creative challenge of lifting this subject matter to a major art form level. Staged storytelling is a minor art form. Kidney donation is a niche subject. Yet our positive attitude and tone willed this production into reality. The inspired collaboration of our creative team has brought skilled writing and clever production value to our feature film production. All this was done by saying yes to the possibilities that this content could be bigger and more significant. Believing there is more possibility… which is the essence of abundance… has created this production.”
Donald Griswold, Director of Abundant

Throughout history, storytelling creates connections. Stories bring people together and they create empathy and understanding. And stories are present in every culture. When a listener connects to a story and recognizes their experiences or perspective in the story, irreplaceable human connection forms: the understanding that “I am not alone.” This is why Maitri River Productions selected storytelling as the format for CrowdSource for Life. We want the audience to be inspired by the selfless giving and empathy of our cast.
We know our storytellers’ messages in CrowdSource for Life will reach a larger audience in Abundant. It’s likely many people will start thinking about the benefits of living kidney donation for the first time. Some may even want more information. That is why we have entrusted the National Kidney Donation Organization with answering people who ask questions here at CrowdSourceforLife.com.
