This classic tells the story of Annie Sullivan and her student, blind and mute Helen Keller, dramatizing the volatile relationship between the lonely teacher and her charge. Trapped in a secret, silent world, unable to communicate, Helen is violent, spoiled, and almost sub-human and treated by her family as such. Only Annie realizes that there is a mind and spirit waiting to be rescued from the dark, tortured silence. With scenes of intense physical and emotional dynamism, Annie's success with Helen finally comes with the utterance of a single, glorious word: "water." Helen Keller is now recognized for her opinions and ultra-progressive attitudes. She campaigned for many things in her lifetime, including women’s suffrage and workers’ rights. She also spoke out against the war, and championed socialism. She lectured and taught and was a published author. A friend of luminaries such as Mark Twain, Alexander Graham Bell, Charlie Chaplin and even American presidents, Helen Keller left an undoubted mark on this world. Directed by Andy Hall.
