Friday January 13, 2006 Freedom Machines - now on DVDI first heard about the Freedom Machines movie at a pre-release screening at the CSUN Conference in March 2004. I was blown away by the excellent job they did introducing the topics of accessibility and assistive technology, and putting them in context with the lives of the people who needed that technology. After getting a lot of exposure on U.S. Public television and elsewhere, Freedom Machines is now available for purchase on DVD and VHS. I got and watched my copy yesterday. They've added a bunch of additional resource material on the DVD - background on the laws, where to get assistive technologies, etc. They've also gone to great lengths making the DVD itself accessible - all of the menus talk - in addition to the more usual things of close captioning & descriptive video. They've even made this acctssibility multi-lingual! You can see a half minute trailer to get a taste of the material. (2006-01-13 15:06:16.0) Permalink Comments:
