It’s a tough world, nice guys finish last. There are plenty of sayings that are meant to prepare us for a mean world where success means being more underhanded than your predecessor. To many, there’s just no room for extra kindnesses, because kindness itself has become a weakness. This myth of kindness and generosity as things that are detrimental has kept people in fierce competition for years. The truth, however, is that people who reach out and help others are no more likely to fall behind in the world than peers who only look out for themselves. Dispelling the falsehood of self-interest getting people ahead is Good Virus, Kindness is Contagious.

 

 

Good Virus is a feel-good documentary that’s getting it’s start on the internet. It aims to explore kindness and its effect on people’s lives. It’s full of stories about good deeds, the lives of people who perform them, and the lives of people affected by them. But why the term “good virus” in the title? Recent studies have shown that kindness quite literally spreads. From person to person, kindness inspires only more kindness. Its effect is capable of becoming widespread and this phenomena really hasn’t been explored in-depth yet. It’s a pleasant break from documentaries that always reveal something pretty awful about the world. However, Good Virus, is still in its funding stage.

The creators of Good Virus have created a Kickstarter page for the documentary. Anyone who wants to see the film happen or invest in the future of the documentary can donate to their Kickstarter page. The finishing touches are all that remain to making the film a reality.
