Hi I am trying to find the name of a movie that I watched on TV when I was young. It was on the Disney afternoon movie weekend show in country Victoria Australia. It was about a young girl who didn't want to attend school, she may have been deaf? Or didn't speak? She lived in an old shack with her grandfather. She had a pet bird and I vividly remember her bird being stoned/ killed by a group of young bully boys near a carousel at a carnival. This movie scared the crap out of me when I was younger and would love to see it again to watch it with an adult prospective.

A Girl Named Sooner (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073047/)

OMG I just watched a bit of it on you tube... that's it... I can't believe after all these years I can watch it again... I am actually in tears... that movie tore at my heart strings as a child and have remembered it off and on for the last 20 odd years... thank you soooo much you will never get how much this means to me...

Happy to help :)
