Description:
This film, winner of the 1954 Academy Award for Best Documentary Short, follows the children at The Royal School for the Deaf in Margate, Kent. It shows the hearing-handicapped children learning to speak through exercises and games, practicing lip-reading, and striving for communication. Richard Burton's gentle, often poetic narration enhances the film's uplifting portrayal of the children’s resilience. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in association with the British Film Institute in 2005.
