Netflix is showing a series based on a best-selling novel called all the light we cannot see. It is set in France during World War II and one of the main characters is a blind girl. The first episode is released this week and I watched it last night using audio description. It was wonderful!
The link below has another persons review.

Last night was the premiere of "All The Light We Cannot See," a touching Netflix original set to release this Thursday 2nd Nov. Sharing my excitement on my stories, I was overwhelmed by the messages of support and appreciation for Netflix's commitment to inclusivity. ✨

Netflix really does shine in its dedication to accessible events, working closely with various communities to ensure that no one is left behind. This screening was beautifully audio described, and what's even more awesome is that the lady behind the audio description is also blind. They also cast talented blind actors, debunking the trend of able-bodied actors in disabled roles.

It's about time we celebrate the incredible talent within the disabled community, and Netflix is leading the way in embracing inclusivity. Huge thanks to my incredible friends at the RNIB for their hard work and to both and for extending this invitation.

Photo Description: Claire stands on the vibrant red carpet against a backdrop of deep black, adorned with the words "ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE" on the left and a Braille version on the right. She wears striking bright red wide-legged trousers paired with shiny black boots. Her attire includes a black wrap blouse adorned with feathers on the cuffs. She confidently poses, holding her white cane, "Rick the Stick."
