Audience Reviews for Breaking Through (After the Silence)

What a masterpiece and emotional TV movie and the best deaf cultures film in the history I ever watched. Kellie Martin's performance is masterful remembering she cannot speak, and her adoption of the sign language is also brilliant. And JoBeth Williams is strong as the social worker, trying against the odds to rescue Kellie, and the supporting cast are all good. Highly recommended!
