Why Audio Description Matters
Audio description makes film and television more inclusive by narrating visual elements such as facial expressions, settings, and physical actions. It transforms a visual experience into a rich, accessible one for those who are blind or vision impaired.
Netflix continues to expand its audio description offerings, helping ensure that everyone can fully enjoy the excitement, suspense, and fun of Halloween films, no matter how they watch.
