Thirteen Delves Into Accessible Online Media
May 14th, 2008 at 5:15 pm

Thirteen is offering one of it’s programs captioned for the hearing impaired… online! The film Rolling produced for public television with Thirteen is now offering the full film online with captions and other accessible media features.

Rolling tells the story of three wheelchair users through footage taken from their everyday lives, the cameras sometimes hand held and sometimes mounted to their chairs. The film reveals the humanity of the often ignored disabled communities, demonstrates the daily struggles faced by wheelchair users, and seeks to educate about building a more accessible world. There couldn’t be a more perfect project to showcase this technology.

The film premiered in January, and if you missed it, you can catch the full documentary online. Watch the full film with optional captions on the Rolling Web site.
