Thursday's Children
An Academy Award-winning film about the methods used in the teaching of deaf children at the Royal School for Deaf Children in Margate. Narrated by Richard Burton, this beautiful study is utterly without pathos or sentimentality and the children emerge as individuals rather than examples.
