I think the NFB does agree it should be a right. Although I have been in some situations where the audio description gets in the way of the movie. However, I still believe that audio description should be a right. Sometimes, more often than not. We as blind people miss important content and therefore don’t completely understand what a particular movie is about. Think of it this way. If the NFB truly believes that audio description is a privilege than putting signs up on men’s and women’s restrooms is a privilege. Because we should automatically know which is the right one to go in. I know that at my college most of the restrooms for men are on the right, however in some buildings the restrooms are switched. Just my two cents on the subject. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Nfbk [mailto:nfbk-bounces@nfbnet.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Danielle Burton via Nfbk<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, February 11, 2016 6:34 PM<br><b>To:</b> NFB of Kentucky Internet Mailing List <nfbk@nfbnet.org><br><b>Cc:</b> Danielle Burton <danielleburton94@gmail.com><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Nfbk] audio description<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>The NFB has not thought this as a right?

Sometimes the show will actually zoom in to the conversation and if I walked up to the tv I “might” be able to read it but probably not fast enough. But most of the shows I am currently watching simply have the camera look over the person’s shoulder. And the worst part is that a whole conversation can happen in these text messages and at the end of the show it is obvious something important took place in that conversation but I have no idea what it is.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Just wondering if NFB has considered revising their position or at least taking a look at it again.
