Subject:	Cinema captioning and audio-description

I wish to convey my condemnation of the intention of major cinema chains submitting an exemption 
to the requirement that some movies have captioning and audio-description for hearing impaired 
people. This flies in the face of the Disability Discrimination Act and I will be appalled if this is to be 
allowed. The accessibility requirement of cinemas is at a minimum as it is and will prevent hearing 
impaired people from attending cinemas with their hearing friends, a right they should have as much 
as for the rest of the population.
