That was nice of him, I thought.

I don’t know how old this site is (on the Internet) so things may have changed.

BUT——- it’s not closed captioned, according to the site. Which leaves many people misrepresented/under-represented or ignored. Sigh. At least for now. This site does hold out some hope:

“Is the film closed captioned?
Not at this time. Check back on our website to see when it will become available.”

I assume that means it MAY be closed captioned in the future? Hopefully.
But for a person wanting to show this at an ‘event’ be sure to advise all those buying tickets that it may not be closed captioned.

I know—- that may seem like a petty carp, but not if you’re hard of hearing or deaf.

My daughter starts high school ( junior high ) next week so issues of self esteem are front and centre as she goes through the teen years. I will see if her school ( a girls school) is interested in this.
