I would like to share with you some exciting information that I recently received from Daniel Pinnell, Executive Director of We the Deaf People, an independent civil-rights advocacy group.
The Connecticut Open Captions Chapter of the National Open Captions Network (NOCN) – who supports We the Deaf People of Connecticut and Deaf People United of Connecticut – is working hard to bring open captioning back to our local movie theaters in Connecticut. Their mission is to allow the Deaf and Hard of hearing to watch a movie without having to deal with closed caption decoding glasses or any other devices.
Here are their upcoming open caption viewings of Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle for this weekend:
