Blind, deaf, and mute since she was a toddler, Helen Keller is a spoiled uncontrollable seven-year-old whose frequent outbursts dominate the Keller household. Teacher Annie Sullivan employs patience, perserverance, and the power of words to free Helen from her dark and silent world. Based on the play by William Gibson, Disney's adaptation of Helen Keller's famous true story shows students what it means to overcome adversity--and celebrates the strength of the human spirit. .
