Drama/Based on a True Story: Mockingbird Don't Sing- 2001


Based on the events of Katie Steele's life, a 14 year old girl who had been locked away and completely isolated her entire life. This is the story of the the time and effort put in by a specialized team, in the attempt too teach her not only language, but how to live life.


Grade: B


This really was an interesting story, and an incredibly sad look into the life of someone who was totally neglected, and kept in the worst circumstances imaginable, to the point of not even being able to talk. The fact that this was based on a true story is horrifying, and incredibly sad. The acting was great, and for being filmed in 2001, it genuinely looked and felt like it was from the 70's/80's. If your interested in seeing one of the many atrocities that take place against children, this is worth watching, although sometimes shocking, this was a good movie.
