Amazing movie with Helen Keller and her teacher Anne Sullivan talking about how Helen learned to communicate. Helen is blind and deaf and when Anne met her, she also could not talk. To listen, Helen basically puts her hand on Anne's face with some of her fingers touching the neck, some the mouth, and some the nose. This allows her to "feel" the sounds that Anne makes to understand. Other: boing-boing.

It’s a fascinating little clip which pays homage to a woman who, even beyond her amazing circumstances, was a radical socialist, suffragist, and supporter of birth control, who was friends with the likes of Mark Twain and who worked tirelessly to champion the rights of both the downtrodden and the physically disabled.
