Most non-English films made outside the U.S. are inaccessible to many of the 26.9 million visually impaired Americans. 'Dubbing just tells us the dialogue,' one disability rights activist explains.
"Dubbing just tells us the dialogue," she explains."It doesn't tell us the surrounding actions and the other things that are taking place, maybe what the individuals are wearing, the expressions on their face, are they moving, what else is happening.": an embedded voice that translates visual imagery and action on the screen into spoken word.
But, while almost all Hollywood films provide this inclusive feature, most non-English language movies produced overseas and distributed in the United States do not. And that prevents millions of blind and visually impaired Americans from fully appreciating many foreign pictures.
