Kahane Cooperman John Hoffman 2020

Made in response to the times we are living in, THE ANTIDOTE weaves together stories of kindness, decency, and the power of community in America. The Antidote is about everyday people who make the intentional choice to lift others up, despite the fundamentally unkind ways of our society, which are at once facts of life in America and yet deeply antithetical to our founding ideals.
