The Miracle Worker

In this gripping drama, Patty Duke stars as Annie Sullivan, a gifted teacher who helps 19-year-old Melissa Gilbert, playing Helen Keller, overcome incredible obstacles to communicate with the world. Helen's life has been marked by isolation and frustration due to her deaf-blindness since infancy, but with Sullivan's persistence and love, she begins to break free from her internal prison. The film is based on the true story of their remarkable relationship, as chronicled in Gibson's play and adapted from Helen Keller's autobiography "The Story of My Life".
