A remarkable doc from VLAFF
I saw Concierto para otras manos (Concerto for Other Hands) last night at VLAFF, and it was such an inspiring story.
It's about David González, a pianist from Mexico who was born with Miller syndrome, which gave him various facial abnormalities, but more importantly for his craft, one shortened arm and four fingers on each hand.
The doc is an inspiring story of what one can accomplish with perseverance, ambition, and familial support. It follows David from childhood as he learns the piano and begins competing and winning prizes internationally. With the help of his father, pianist J. L. González, David begins the journey to perform a concerto with an orchestra: Concerto for Eight Fingers.
As of a few days ago, David is in hospital fighting an infection that has severely threatened his health. The family has started a Gofundme to help pay for his medical expenses. If you wuld like to donate, you can do so here:
