Audience
Did you know kindness is contagious? It’s true. And to prove it, we’re going to designate July as Be Kind Month at SMCM and watch the kindness spread across the campus … and the community.
As part of Be Kind Month, IDE(A)2 and the Hilda C. Landers Library, Archives & Media Center are pleased to present a virtual screening of The Kindness Diaries, with Leon Logothetis, as the July film offering. We invite the entire campus community to join us for episode 1, Gift of Love, on Thursday, July 15, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm. The episode is 20 minutes long and will be followed by an interactive group discussion. So grab your lunch and enjoy the show!
About the series:
Leon is a man with a mission. Counting solely on the kindness of strangers for food, shelter, and fuel, he travels around the world on a vintage motorcycle (Kindness One) looking for the good in humanity. This is an uplifting social experiment that examines the nature of generosity and gives glimpses into the hearts of some truly selfless people. It gives one real hope in a world where too often greed is revered as a virtue and caring as a liability.
Episode 1: With a tank full of gas donated by a would-be traveler, Leon and Kindness One leave LA and try their luck in Sin City before finding a fellow Brit in an out-of-the-way Western town in Colorado. Leon spends a day on a ranch and then spends the night sleeping on the streets of Pittsburgh with a homeless man and his friends.
