Connections: Organ Donation Program; High Falls Film Festival

New York is changing the way organ donations are established and handled. It’s an effort to get more people – a lot more – signed up. Guests include: Rob Kochik from Finger Lakes Donor Recovery Network and Dr. Mark Orloff, transplant surgeon at URMC.

In the second half-hour, the High Falls Film Festival is six months away, but later this month they’re presenting a film produced by a Rochester native. Guests include Mary Manard Reed, Executive Director of the festival and and Producer, Mike Critteli.

Evan Dawson is the host of "Connections with Evan Dawson." He joined WXXI in January 2014 after working at 13WHAM-TV, where he served as morning news anchor. He was hired as a reporter for 13WHAM-TV in 2003 before being promoted to anchor in 2007.
