Description:
Do you enjoy watching the latest release in movie theaters? So do we! Thanks to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), NAD intern Tyler Pugeda explains how that requires access for deaf and hard of hearing people. View the entire #ADA25 series at www.nad.org/ADA25.
Video begins with an off white vintage background. Three black and white photos appear. First photo shows a group of people marching, one holds a NAD poster. Second photo shows another group of people marching, one holds a poster "We Shall Overcome." Third photo shows President Bush signing the Americans with Disabilities Act. Text appears "ADA25 -- Americans with Disabilities Act". Video flashes to white then to Tyler Pugeda inside NAD Headquarters. On bottom left corner, "#ADA25" appears as a light watermark. On bottom right corner, the NAD logo appears, also as a light watermark.
TYLER: Nothing impacts the American culture like the movies. However, deaf and hard of hearing individuals for many years have been deprived from this American experience - because we have not been able to understand what the movies are about. Until now. Theaters are starting to realize that they have an obligation under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act to provide captioned movies - thanks to the NAD's advocacy efforts both in and out of court. More and more theaters are providing captioned movies. Currently, as written, the law does not require a specific type of captioning - open or closed (glasses or individual devices). Theaters must provide something and be sure deaf and hard of hearing movie goers have equal opportunity to see the latest movies - and be able to understand them! Today, with the transition from film to digital movie production, there is even less excuse not to show captioned movies.
Video fades to a gradient background with dark blue to light blue, a grey National Association of the Deaf (NAD) logo is centered. White text below the logo appears, "A production of the National Association of the Deaf (copyright) 2015 All Rights Reserved" with four teal social media icons, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.
