Dear Commitioner
 
I am married with three children.  I have been blind since teenage years and still remember when I could 
see movies  when they were in black and white, not in colour like today.
 
Going out as a family to the movies is a great leisure activity.  But I can't share in their excitement in 
watching the movie to the same extent as my remaining sighted members of my family.
 
Although there are some live theartres which provide audio description services, these are few and out of 
my price range, as well as not of great interest to the rest of my family.
 
By the time I am able to obtain an audio description movie on DVD, the movie is out of date and has 
lost its impact in terms of suspense and thrill of the new plot.
 
  Please consider the introduction of audio description at live cinemas. There are so many activities that 
prevent blind people in participating with sighted people.  This one doesn't havt to be one of them.
 
regards
