I'm looking for movies about deaf or blind people?

There's the well-known film based on a play, "Children of a Lesser God," about a teacher of deaf children who falls in love with a deaf woman who refuses to learn to speak or lip read. Incidentally, it has a brief appearance by Linda Bove, the signing woman on Sesame Street. Then there's the touching drama "Dear Frankie," set in Scotland.

A single mother writes letters to her deaf son Frankie, pretending to be the boy's estranged father. When Frankie believes his dad is coming to their town on a merchant marine vessel, the mother looks for a man to pose as the boy's father for one day. It's surprisingly heartwarming and poignant.As for blind people, try "A Patch of Blue," a classic film from the sixties with Sidney Poitier, Elizabeth Hartman, and Shelley Winters.

A young blind woman lives with her drunk and abusive mother and grandfather. In a chance meeting at the park, she befriends a black man who develops protective, loving feelings for her and tries to help her learn how to get around in the world so she can break away from her family.

The movie "Miracle Worker" with Patty Duke and Anne Bancroft profiles the story of Helen Keller. Keller was blind and deaf and she was being taught to make noises, then spell, talk, read; basically communicate. This movie won Oscars for both Patty Duke and Anne Bancroft and I'd highly recommend it.

It's from the fifties and called Bright Victory which is a beautiful written film about blindness and friendships where you can be fooled by the voice. Sidney Pitier did one with Shelley Winters in the sixties called Patch of Blue.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
