  Viva Nicholas! Viva Nicholas! shouts Reg Green at the dedication of a school named after his slain son. And that sums up how all of Italy feels about 7-year-old Nicholas Green and American tourist and accidental victim of a bandit's bullet. In this highly publicized 1994 crime would-be robbers who fired the fateful shots were not even after the Greens but were trying to intercept a jewelry shipment. Still the bizarre story of mistaken identity is little more than a footnote to the powerful true story of two parents' generosity and willingness to forgive - all while dealing with their boy's grim prognosis. Under the worst circumstances Reg and Maggie Green make the most courageous decision possible: They will donate Nicholas' organs a practice almost unheard of in Italy at that time. Since then organ donation in Italy has increased 118 percent giving more than 3 000 people a second chance at life. It is call The Nicholas Effect.
