Change the law so that cinemas must show more subtitles movies
According to the equality act of 2010, all businesses must make reasonable adjustments to their practices to support the disabled. However, most cinemas do not show subtitles films at sensible times during the week. This has to be made illegal. The deaf and HoH must be given equal acces to media.
Equality Act 2010: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/equality-act-2010-guidance#overview
Reasonable ways to change the law:
- Force all cinemas to offer subtitle glasses (smart glasses produced by many companies that show subtitles)
- Force all cinemas to show open captioned versions of all major films at least once a week, at a reasonable time that is accessible to most people
