				Why watch this? 
				The clash of two indomitable wills is more than worth the price 
				of admission. 
				Plot Summary: 
				This is the true story of Helen Keller, a young girl who is 
				blind, deaf, and mute and experiences significant frustration 
				and behavioral challenges due to her inability to communicate. 
				Her desperate parents hire Annie Sullivan, a former student from 
				the Perkins School for the Blind who also experienced visual 
				impairment, to tutor their daughter. A battle of wills ensues as 
				Annie, through persistence, tough love, and sheer stubbornness, 
				strives to teach Helen language and connect her to the world 
				around her. Dad's Preview: 
				This is an unforgettable and painful journey through the incredible 
				education of Helen Keller, who lost her hearing and sight in 
				infancy. Her desperate family hires Ann Sullivan to teach her. 
				Ann instantly surmises that Helen's family has done nothing but 
				spoil her. This cinematic feat (please stick it out) is transformative. 
				You will see two great performances that both won Academy 
				Awards. It may also help you better deal with a spoiled child.
