The story of young Helen Keller, blind, deaf and mute, who through her teacher, Annie Sullivan, accomplished so much - went to college, met with presidents, became an important figure in history and an inspiration to not only the hearing impaired, but to all of us. Blind and mute, nobody knows what Helen’s fate might have been had she not come under the tutelage of Annie Sullivan.

Only Annie realizes that there is a mind waiting to be rescued. Helen Keller was a little soul in a world of silent darkness, like a little safe, locked that no one could open until her teacher; Annie Sullivan came and unlocked the treasure inside.
