Closed Captioning in Movie Theaters Now!
Sign Now
Hello.
I am a normal person that likes to watch TV and go to movies at the movie theater. However, I am also hard of hearing or deaf, or support the hard of hearing and deaf.. The deaf and hard of hearing need or prefer closed captioning in the movie theater and on all TV shows, including commercials, to fully understand everything that is going on.
When I say closed captioning, I mean good closed captioning. The kind that I have 100\% satisfaction with. We need to get this rolling.
Some movie theaters have certain showings once a week with closed captioning. The closest movie theater to me with this feature is over an hour away, and I'm sure it is the same for many people across the United States. I am sick of having to wait until it is out on DVD to watch the movie, just because of closed captioning.
ADA requires that everyone has equal access and opportunity. With this said, we (the deaf and hard of hearing) require the United States Representatives to put more effort into making all movie theaters in the United States deaf accessible.
Thank you and please sign the petition if you agree.

YES Oh GOD please! I hate going to movies and trying to understand what they say! It drives me nuts, and makes me not want to see them.

I agree 100\% with this petition. I am also hard-of-hearing and I also do the same thing to wait until it comes out on DVD just so I can understand what they are saying. It would be nice to have closed-caption in all theatres or all movie shows and t.v. s

i love the idea of captioned movies...but i can't justify making every movie like this especially cause there is no way that every movie would have a deaf person in it even if all movies were captioned. Certain AMC theaters have great idea beacause they s
