Donor
Could you help get this important documentary out to others?
I am writing about a 30-minute documentary ('A Perfect Gift') that my wife and I have produced. The documentary features our close friend, Andy (a 40 year old man from England), who asked me (James) to support him in his attempt to altruistically donate his spare kidney to Rich, a man in his 60's from the U.S, suffering from stage-four kidney disease. Rich experienced many setbacks from other prospective donors before Andy discovered his need and offered to help.
The documentary follows Andy and Rich before, during and after their donation, providing an important window into the journey of a living donor and their recipient as they navigate the process of a gift-of-life transplant, in addition to the remarkable results that are possible. One of the surgeons involved in Andy and Rich's transplant commented that he had not seen such good results in his 30 years of work. Their story is amazing.
In a world where transplant waiting lists are growing longer, the documentary gives hope and inspiration to anyone suffering from organ failure, or who is considering stepping forward to help another stranger, friend, or family member in need.
We have just uploaded the video on our recently set-up, non-monetized YouTube channel in the hope of getting it viewed as widely as possible. Would you kindly consider sharing a link to it in the hope of inspiring even one person to step forward to help another person in need?
Any feedback or confirmation about this would be appreciated. The link to the documentary is:
Warm regards,
James & Eleanor Montagu

One other irony, I attended a Pediatric Transplant conference online today and a speaker was this recipient who is also a writer and director names Daisy Friedman (www.daisyfriedman.com) who has made films related to transplant. You may want to check her out.
