Today's short, Two Hands, from Crazy Boat Pictures is a documentary about American concert pianist Leon Fleisher and his extraordinary efforts to regain a sense of purpose in life after losing the use of his right hand to the neurological condition known as focal dystonia while at the height of his career.
Today, Fleisher, whose ability to perform with two hands returned in the mid-1990s, teaches at the Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, and performs, conducts, and holds master classes throughout the world.
