Description:
From the age of one and a half to thirteen, Katie, was imprisoned by her parents. Locked in a room, tied and immobile, bound to a "potty-chair", Katie endured years of isolated silence punctuated by brutality. When Katie’s case finally came to public attention she was moved to a hospital in Los Angeles, where it was discovered she had never been taught to speak. Katie was an anomaly, a modern day Wild Child. Medical and psychological doctors descended on the girl in droves, often with selfish motivations in this heart-breaking story. With stunning care to detail Mockingbird Don’t Sing tells Katie’s story of imprisonment, discovery and her difficult road to joining the human family as a beautiful young woman.

I have this movie on a homemade video tape and I don't know how long I have had it. I have watched my tape a few times over the past 10 years or so and frequently wonder why there was never a follow-up on how Katie (Genie) did after being separated from Ms. Curtis, the only person who seemed to be able to reach her. Katie's childhood was certainly not geared to raising a normal child, chained to a potty chair and fed by an abusive, mentally-ill father who barked at her and a mother going blind from ... Read More

This is one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen. It documents the abuse a young girl suffered at the hands of first her father and then of the welfare authorities {in this case California's} who are charged with protecting such children.
I think it is beside the point to get bogged down in whether this movie is successful as a artistic creation. And whether it is fully true. The movie's power comes from watching this helpless child being shuttled from one inadequate environment ... Read More

Instead of spending money to make rediculous re-enactments of this horrific and true story, why not try to help and perhaps the real Genie- who is now around 48 years old and in a home for retarded adults. It makes me sad the real person was exploited and then thrown away when public fascination wore off. Why this child was put back in the care of one of her abusers (who then gave her up to more abuse in foster care) boggles my mind. The selfishness of her mother was Genie's true downfall.

Mockingbird Don't Sing (Harry Bromley Davenport, 2001)
This film was, shall we say, something of a surprise. To date, the only other Harry Bromley Davenport film I've been able to track down has been his first, the brilliant, gruesome sci-fi shocker XTRO. Upon finding out he'd done a film about "Genie," the famous feral girl discovered in California in 1970, I expected something quite different than what I got.
Genie (whose name in the film is Katie Standon) spent the first thirteen ... Read More
