Join Anne-Marie Slaughter for a screening and discussion of the 2010 film Never Let Me Go. The beautiful adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s best-selling novel explores questions of humanity and bioethics as it tells the story of three children who were created in a laboratory and raised in isolation. Their life’s purpose: to serve as organ donors.

This is the latest installment of our “My Favorite Movie” series featuring thought leaders hosting their favorite films, followed by short conversations about them. Slaughter is the president and CEO of New America, a think tank and civic enterprise committed to renewing American politics, prosperity, and purpose in the Digital Age, and the author of Unfinished Business: Women, Men, Work, Family.
