Subject:	Captioning at cinemas

To whom it may concern: 
I am writing this email on behalf of my ten year old son, who is profoundly deaf and 
communicates using sign language. I believe that there are already not enough movie 
sessions that are captioned.  As a hearing person, I would be happy for ALL movies to have 
captioning.  Captioning is not offensive and, if anything, is a minor inconvenience for hearing 
people as opposed to a major inconvenience to Deaf people by not having them.  Deaf 
people should be able to choose the movie THEY want to see, at the time THEY want to see it 
and at the cinema of THEIR choice.  All cinemas are equipped for people in wheelchairs to be 
able to access because to deny physically disabled people the ability to enjoy a movie would 
be discrimination.  Why is alright for Deaf people to be denied this right.  To NOT have 
captioning for Deaf people IS discrimiation. 
Yours faithfully, 
Donna Cole-Gibson
