A Day in the Life of Amira Willighagen

This is Amira Willighagen singing in the Netherlands at 13 years old. A child prodigy, many believe Amira's may be the finest soprano voice in the world. Her entire demeanor exudes effortless perfection. The song is titled "Your Love." It is from the Italian movie Once Upon a Time in the West.



Amira Willighagen won 'Holland's Got Talent' (HGT) in 2013 at the age of nine. Since then she has traveled the world singing. She now lives in South Africa with her mother and brother. I have been following her career, deeply moved by her singing and frequently amused by her candid interviews. I find there is something both beautiful and bitter sweet about her fame and life. This short documentary, made when she was 12, captures both feelings.
