Thinking back on this movie, I loved Sally Struthers' performance as the "champion" mother. She tries her best to know and understand deafness. I felt a tug at my heart, when Jonah is cruelly tied up on a table and looks at her pitifully. Struthers is the strong parent and only wants to see him fairly treated.She tries everything to study and help her son grow.In his silent world of deafness, Jonah befriends a fellow who helps him break out of the shell and deal with life. He discovers Sign Language, and is set free from barriers that push him away from family.The saddest scene was when Grandpa collapses and dies right in front of Jonah. This film was moving and I love it.
