Movie Reviews of NOVA: Secret of the Wild Child
Movie Review: Tragic story of rehabilitation of "wild child" Genie
Summary: 5 Stars
This episode focuses on the discovery of a child that had been abused and
secluded in a small room with little human contact until she was found at
13 years old. The seclusion had resulted in severely limited childhood
development, including the lack of acquisition of language. The documentary
tells the story of her rehabilitation, and the missteps that occur during it.
Ultimately, "Wild Child" Genie's rehabilitation was unsuccessful, and her
profound handicaps and doubtful rehabilitation leave a deep sorrow in the
heart. Very moving and an interesting glimpse into some of the issues about
childhood development.
There is also a good book on Genie, Genie: a Scientific Tragedy
available from amazon which parallels the documentary.
