After walking out of a screening of Marvel’s Black Panther, DiMarco described that the terrible closed-captioning device which skipped lines and scenes, left him feeling “so disabled”.

So one time I went to the movies and it said on my CaptiView device thing “tires screeching horns honking violent collision.” Thing is, I was watching Lincoln. A horse was galloping on the screen. So yeah. I feel you @NyleDiMarco. https://t.co/SbfoDyVjha

After all the feedback from the deaf community agreeing with DiMarco, AMC Theater only gave him two free tickets to a movie.
.@AMCTheatres couldn’t refund me so they gave me two free tickets instead.
So I guess I’ll go and feel disabled again. pic.twitter.com/0WBH9NSS4e
