Robert Redford's screenwriter son - who got a lifesaving liver transplant - wants people to set aside the myths and fears about organ donation.

"Six years and counting" since he underwent the operation in Omaha, Neb., Jamie Redford returned Wednesday to showcase a documentary produced by his Institute for Transplant Awareness."The Kindness of Strangers" looks at the stories of organ donor families and the people whose lives depend on donors for organs and tissues.

"It's not really my intent to hit people over the head with the message," said Redford. "It's about patients and it's about people."
