> Subject: Inquiry regarding access to audio description at AMC theaters. [IWOV-DMS.FID42919]
>  
> Dear Chancey,
>  
> I am a blind disability rights attorney in San Francisco, and I am writing to you regarding one of our ongoing investigations.  For background, I and my firm work with the American Council of the Blind, the National Federation of the Blind, and the Lighthouse for the Blind and visually Impaired in San Francisco.  I have also worked with other attorneys who work with the blind community including Scott LaBarre, Tim Elder, Dan Goldstein, Linda Dardarian, and Haben Girma.
>  
> We and our co-counsel Disability Rights Advocates are currently investigating access to audio description at AMC movie theaters on behalf of our clients the Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired and the California council of the Blind.  In short, we have received a significant number of complaints that although many AMC theaters are equipped with audio description technology, blind moviegoers often have difficulty accessing it because the equipment often does not work or AMC employees do not know about it or how to configure it.
>  
> We are currently investigating the scope of the problem across the country, and Bryan Bashin at the Lighthouse suggest that I reach out to you to ask for your assistance to spread the word about our investigation to the blind community in New York.  Would you be willing to circulate an announcement describing our investigation to your network?  If so, then I will send you a copy of the investigation announcement.  I would also be happy to answer any questions that you have regarding the investigation if that would be helpful.
>  
> Thanks,
> Michael
