Rejected petition 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.
