It’s great to see efforts being made to expand access to open-captioned movies in Washington State. For many people with hearing loss, captions can make all the difference in truly enjoying a film without barriers. Are there specific theaters already on board with this initiative, or is there a way for the community to help encourage more participation?
It’s encouraging to see such strong advocacy for open-captioned movies. As a person who relies on captions regularly, I can’t emphasize enough how important this issue is. Thanks for sharing these updates!
