Join us as we introduce Audio Described Movies, hosted on the first Friday of each month. Today, join us for the audio descriptive version of Dark Waters. Audio description (also referred to as “description” or “video description”) is defined as “the verbal depiction of key visual elements in media and live productions.” Audio description is a means to inform individuals who are blind or who have low vision about visual content essential for comprehension. Audio description of video provides information about actions, characters, scene changes, on-screen text, and other visual content. The audio description of the action or the people or the scenery never interferes with the dialogue spoken by the characters.
Rob Bilott is a lawyer whose specialization is defending corporate entities. One day, a farmer named Wilbur Tennant barges into his office and blackmails him into helping him sue the Dupont company for poisoning the Dry Run Creek. Rob decides to check out the situation himself, and what he sees convinces him to take on the case. His boss, Tom Terp, is supportive of his endeavor to stop the company from causing any more harm to the environment, but his wife Sarah isn't as receptive.
