"The rooms a wreck but she folded her napkin!" - Ann Sullivan

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.
