You normally use both your eyes and your ears to follow a film. But what if you're blind or deaf? We love films and want to make the films on our portal available to everyone. Inclusion means being involved and taking part. To support this, we are offering a selection of films available in audio description for our members with vision impairments, and closed captions for those users with hearing impairments. Audio description explains what is going on in the pictures so that sight impaired users can follow a film using loudspeakers or headphones. The closed captions are special subtitles that not only recreate the dialog, but also explain in words the narration and other sounds important to the film.
