Fw: Movie: Apollo 13

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hi Charles,

Hmmm, well, I doubt that simply because the entertainment industry is not
being forced to provide audio description that means in any way that the
future of voluntary audio description is in jeopardy.  I'm certain projects
like DVS would certainly continue as they are now; I do sure wish more
titles were available!

You know, I think celebrities should apply some pressure on the rest of the
industry to provide greater audio description for the movies in which they
star.  I mean, most already have a rather lengthy liberal record.  How about
instead of supporting un-American institutions such as terrorists and
corrupted charities, they support blind Americans?
