The Seven Lives of Julio García

The New York Times published a wonderful story about a man who died and saved seven lives in the process, thanks to the organs that his wife made available to people in the transplant waiting list. You can see the story here.

The photo by Béatrice de Géa was also published in the story that Carlos Fresneda did for El Mundo Crónica, the printed weekly supplement, alongside one of my photos. Carlos wrote another story for elmundo.es, along with the video I prepared. And I wrote another piece about what a movie about Julio could be like, directed perhaps by Iñarritu.

Mirtala is an amazing woman. She shared her home and her love for her husband with us. She even showed us a video of her husband giving a sermon at their church.
