Becoming Helen Keller, the newest PBS American Masters production, unlocks little-known and multifaceted
aspects of the life of Helen Keller, showing us a woman whose achievements went well beyond the view of
her we all know from the film The Miracle Worker. This new film documents her commitment to social justice,
disability rights, women’s rights, voting rights, civil rights, disabled veterans, support for NAACP and the ACLU,
and many other progressive causes.
After the film, Joseph Stramondo will moderate a panel with disability media experts, Beth Haller and
Tari Hartman Squire.
