Since its premiere in Iowa City in 2008, "A Friend Indeed - The Bill Sackter Story" has been awarded the #1 Audience Favorite in 5 consecutive film festivals, and has had very successful public screenings. It is an inspirational story about the power of human compassion and is a message that needs to be shared around the world.
With the new release of the full documentary on YouTube, and the availability of the Deluxe Edition (Home Use) DVD and the Public Screening DVD, now you can make a difference and share this positive message in many ways.
The following is a listing of just some ideas
on how you can make a difference:

- Host a Screening either by yourself or through a local organization. It's a very rewarding experience to share "A Friend Indeed" in a group setting, and it can lead to public discussion about a variety of topics covered in the documentary.
