Trivia
In May 1888 Helen Keller attended Perkins School for the Blind for four years. She then spent a year at the Cambridge School for Young Ladies to prepare for Radcliffe College. In 1904, she graduated cum laude from Radcliffe and became the first person with deaf-blindness to earn a bachelor of arts degree.

Goofs
When John Macy is "reading (fingerspelling)"Helen's book to her, actor Billy Campbell isn't properly fingerspelling, he's just doing the same movements repeatedly.

Sensitive Telling of Helen Keller's emergence into adult life

This is a beautifully shot film and features good performances by the actors. Perhaps lacking slightly in passion but still plenty of emotion present. Admittedly I don't know how close to the truth it is but it seems to be handled sensitively. I'd recommend it, it's pleasant viewing and you care about the characters. For those wanting action this movie will be a little slow, though!
