The Silent Child (2017)

Don't know where I came across this one. It might be in ART's MegaPost or I might have found it while searching for information on another movie.

Synopsis:

Set in rural England and inspired by real life events. The Silent Child centres around a profoundly deaf four year old girl named Libby who is born into a middle class family and lives in a world of silence until a caring social worker teaches her the gift of communication.

Stars a very cute and Dakota Fanning-ish looking Maisie Sly as Libby. Like the actress Marlee Matlin, Maisie is actually deaf.

Overall the movie is a sweet slice-of-life drama that could have probably played out into a full length motion picture. The comparisons to Helen Keller's story can't be overlooked [although Maisie's not blind], yet this being a more updated and modern telling reveals how little has changed from Helen Keller's time as far as the acceptance and education of deaf children in the school community. The biggest drawback for me was the film just sort of ends. It feels like there should be more, but it just ends...

I couldn't find the film on YouTube or Vimeo, but oddly enough it popped up on the European 'nrk' site:

Hopefully someone will be able to make an ed2k link from this and some of the other shorts here in the [REQ] section with streaming links and post them to make the shorts official [REL]'s..

EDIT: (After almost a month from original post date...)
Since no one seems interested enough to post an ed2k link, I will:

UPGRADE!!

Thank you, kev.

This one absolutely broke my heart. I wanted to strangle that arrogant and oblivious mother who insisted that SHE knew what was best for her children, but had time and energy for absolutely everything EXCEPT learning to understand what her youngest child had to say.
