The Antidote

A film by Kahane Cooperman & John Hoffman

If ever there was a time for kindness

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.

“THE ANTIDOTE isn’t about an idea or a platform; there are no historians, policy wonks, or celebrities. It is simply about how we treat each other. It is about who we are, and, maybe, it’s about who we can be”

- John Hoffman & Kahane Cooperman

“The globe is most unkind, when we determine that someone’s life holds more value than another person’s. It’s the start of unkindness”

- Issa Spatrisano - Alaska State Refugee Coordinator/Program Director, Catholic Social Services Alaska
