Case for Kindness is a transformative journey across the United States, exploring the profound impact of kindness on our physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Through engaging dialogues with figures like Ben Affleck, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, Tim Shriver, Daniel Lubetzky, John Paul DeJoria, and His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama—alongside insights from scientists and scholars—the film unravels the essence of kindness, its origins, and its vital role in our lives.
Powerful stories of ordinary people making a difference.
“So many of the young brothers and sisters I grew up with were either killed or sent to jail, and I saw the impact of that absence on their children. I wanted to help give them the tools to heal from that pain and break the cycle of incarceration and death.”
- Erica Ford, Founder and CEO of LIFE Camp, Inc.:
- Ben Affleck
“Kindness to me was always sort of a bland, generic concept, one that I didn’t particularly understand or value appropriately until I started wanting to get sober. My only regret is that I didn’t learn that sooner.”
