Universal sorrows, family bonds, and the strength of the human spirit are explored in the amazing true story of two remarkable women. We've watched all of the movies we can find about Helen Keller (even the critically-dissed TV special), and it was a treat to watch Patty Duke, who played Helen in the original, Academy-award-winning Miracle Worker, also play Ann Sullivan in this version (she'd said years ago she hoped to play the part of Ann). In William Gibson’s riveting prose, one of the great miracles of the 19th century has become one of the great stage plays of the 20th, as past and present, fact and mere conjecture, are woven together in a thrilling and heart-rending drama. But faced with the well-meaning pity of the Kellers, the curious sneers of James, and the fearful, furious trickery of Helen herself, it will take all of Annie’s patience, creativity, and firmness of spirit to bring about the transformation of Helen, the trapped wild creature, into Helen, the brilliant and communicative child she could become. From the story shown in both movie and book, this movie deserves a 4.5 rating for the fact that they show both the.

As a last resort, the Kellers send for a governess from the the prestigious Perkins Institute for the Blind, and get Annie Sullivan, a lively and stubborn Yankee girl, barely out of school herself, with the experience of childhood blindness - now cured, after numerous operations - and the title of valedictorian her main recommendations.

Her heartbroken mother Kate is Helen’s best protector, while her half-brother James wants to send Helen to an institution, and her father Arthur Keller, a former Captain in the Confederate Army, is worried for the safety of their new baby.
