YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

This audio-described Public Service Announcement explains a new law (NYC Administrative Code section 20-699.7) that requires movie theaters in New York City to provide some movie showings with open captions. This requirement starts May 15, 2022.

Open captioning is a service for moviegoers who are D/deaf and hard of hearing. In addition to moviegoers who are D/deaf and hard of hearing, captions benefit almost everyone, especially people watching movies in their non-native language, and children and adults learning to read.
