She writes her first autobiography at the age of 22 (she would go on to write three more autobiographies). Living into her late 70s, she becomes a renowned author, and activist, fighting for women’s suffrage and labor rights, among other causes. Helen Keller becomes the first dead and blind person to earn a bachelor’s degree. Sullivan helps Keller blossom into a figure that would eventually make history. Then comes into her life Anne Sullivan, the teacher who devotes her life to this little girl with no skills, experience or motive to communicate. As a deaf and blind American born in the late 19th century, we can only imagine how life would be a nonstarter for little Helen. The story of Helen Keller is the kind storytellers only dream of. Renowned actress Beren Saat plays the older Ela (below), while director Uğur Yücel (L) also acts as a teacher. Helen Keller story inspires Turkish film Emrah GÜLER ANKARA - Hürriyet Daily News
