![Unconquered: Helen Keller in Her Story and VISIONS in Silent Darkness [with SUBTITLES]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91fd6IbcgXL.jpg)
Now with a SUBTITLES option (English and Italian), this double-feature includes the 1955 Academy Award® winning documentary, Unconquered: Helen Keller in Her Story, and the Nobility Studios original production, VISIONS in Silent Darkness. Helen Keller is one of the most renowned personages of the 20th century, and yet most people only know her as that young girl, deaf and blind from infancy, who astounded the world by learning not only how to read and write but also to speak. What relatively few people realize, however, is that Helen Keller was even far more respected for what she accomplished as an adult. Narrated by Katharine Cornell and directed by Nancy Hamilton, Unconquered: Helen Keller in Her Story presents the adult Helen Keller, the internationally recognized and admired spokesperson and advocate for the disabled, and this movie also reveals Helen Keller as a whole person, one who partakes in the ordinary joys of life - entertaining guests, going shopping, enjoying flowers, and doing mundane chores - despite her afflictions. In addition to enhanced new materials, this DVD, as with all Nobility Studios titles, uses the original film in order to provide the highest possible image quality. The Nobility Studios original production, VISIONS in Silent Darkness, uses new research and goes further to show Helen Keller as not just acclaimed and capable but, rather, as an exceptional intelligence and a brilliant thinker in her own right - an exemplar for all people and all times.

An incredibly inspiring documentary!!!
I've seen a lot of documentaries over the past several decades, but I can't recall one that moved me as much as this one about Helen Keller did. As the Academy Award winning documentary feature for 1955, clocking in around 50 minutes, Nancy Hamilton's touching production, capturing the essence of Helen Keller's life, left me in awe and on the verge of tears. With numerous news reel clips from the 1st half of the 20th century, especially with segments showing Helen Keller not only speaking in sign language, but actually talking, moved my heart more than few other lives have. Talk about overcoming major obstacles! To have been deaf and blind for most of her 87 years (she wasn't born that way, as many believe--she was stricken with an illness around 19 months old which left her that way), and yet to have graduated from school and college by the turn of the century when educational opportunities for the deaf and blind (especially those with both conditions) were still few and far between, to have written books, to have learned several languages, to have traveled all over the world with the help of her constant companions Annie Sullivan and, later, Polly Thomson, and to have inspired hundreds of millions across the globe is about as amazing a life as one could live! The documentary is presented in great audio & visual quality with many revealing aspects about her life over the decades, as well as the many famous people who befriended her. I strongly recommend this feature, which gives hope to a troubled, dark, and cynical world. People from age 7 to 107 would benefit much from learning her story!

A must view for a great look at courage and intelect
As I noted, this video is a must item to watch and learn about one of the most heroic persons that have ever graced our Nation.Thousands of words can not tell the story. Extreme production quality, voice overs able to tell the story clearly, without over presentation of the facts. My only complaint is that this fantastic program only showed Helen's portrayal in the silent film ever too briefly.JJ
