Overview
The true story of the frightening, lonely world of silence and darkness of 7-year-old Helen Keller who, since infancy, has never seen the sky, heard her mother's voice or expressed her innermost feelings. Then Annie Sullivan, a 20-year-old teacher from Boston, arrives. Having just recently regained her own sight, the no-nonsense Annie reaches out to Helen through the power of touch, the only tool they have in common, and leads her bold pupil on a miraculous journey from fear and isolation to happiness and light.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visceral, intensely physical drama about the breakthrough between a teacher and her deaf-blind pupil that transforms both their lives. The film earns its emotional weight through conflict and struggle, not sentimentality.
