    Hi Beth Glad you liked the video! This story and the interview with the artist are not edited together because now the whole interview can be shown on the website. If you have the idea that there is another truth that needs to be told, you can pitch it in the newsroom (http://www.vjmovement.com/newsroom).

    I just found the interview video. Why not edit together?

    This is a wonderful story that cries out for an interview with the artist donor. Who is he? What was his motivation? What is the thought behind the name exchange? More video, pls!
