  • Thiis is a REENACTMENT 9clearly stated in the description) of her speech to the Lions Club. Everybody in this movie are actors.

  • I would suggest watching the movie "The Miracle Worker" (1962), to see how she made the connection.

  • Yes, this is not Helen Keller. This is an actor recreating Miss Keller's speech at a Lions convention.

  • They didn't have any cameras at the convention. That's why they had to do a recreation.

  • Anything that is made to try to display the wonderful achievements of Keller is good. However I have seen documents of Keller moving and speaking. Her mannerisms are not like this at all. Her message was strong, but her personality gentle. She didn't sign with such force, my God this actor looks angry. Her very brute and hard body language is NOTHING like the real Kellers. I wonder if she or anyone involved in this video took time to watch Keller in action on documentaries to see how she acted.

  • If any of you guys are wondering how can helen keller talk? Well she went to a special teacher :) i love helen keller

  • this scared me a lil bit!

  • I LOVE YOU,HELEN KELLER!!!!!!your my HERO!!!

  • If Helen Keller were alive today to see this... she would be disgusted with what she was hearing.

  • I thought Hellen Keller was blind, not full of down syndrome. This is a horrible recreation. HORRIBLE. Shouldn't be regarded as an actress but instead a mockery artist. This is just.. unbelievably bad. She sounds like she is trying way too hard to be "deaf" but her choppy deep voice speech reminds me of a deaf hitler. All I need her to do is start screaming "NEIN NEIN NEIN" and we'd be set.

  • she sounds like a badazz mafia person SHE's my hero :)

  • Miesse is my last name!

    She could be my relative.
