The Four Fingered Pianist

The Four Fingered Pianist
Born with only four fingers (two digits on each hand) and no legs beneath her knees, 20 year old Hee-ah Lee is an inspiration to all who know her. Although she began playing the piano at age 7 for therapeutical purposes, today she is a renowned concert pianist. Hannah's mother always saw her daughter as perfect just the way she was, and has been the driving force behind her amazing career. Today, Hee-ah eats, walks and uses the adjusted piano pedals on her own. "You play with your heart and head not your fingers," she says. This short video portrays Hee-ah's moving story and the transforming power of unconditional love.
