IF we can't find anyone to interview, we will... USE AN ALTERNATE IDEA. (Interview Yuval's ayi and driver)
 * MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE. *
 * KEEP TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE.

This is how we will video:
 * First we will video the car ride, and video trying to find someone.
 * When we find someone (if we find someone...) we will start asking them the questions.
 * We will cut any parts and make sure that the video is 4:00 min exactly, worst case we will cut the part were we are looking for someone to interview.
 * We will ask 5 question, and if we see it's to long we will ask 3-4 questions (depends on the length of the answer).
 * Each person will have a minute to speak.
