Australian cinemas are being asked to do their share for those who are deaf and hearing impaired. The Deafness Forum of Australia says we should increase the number of screens showing captioned movies, because those affected by this disability are being discriminated against. With one in six Australians having some form of hearing impairment, the Forum and the Human Rights Commission are calling for more government funding to boost captioning rates. At the moment only 10 theatres in Australia offer this service.
