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 Edward Scissorhands. 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.

A family takes in a young man with scissors for hands. He is the unfinished experiment of a local eccentric who died before completing his creation. Dubbed Edward, he quickly falls in love with the family's oldest daughter, and becomes something of a sensation in the humdrum suburban neighborhood. Soon, however, his inability to fit in causes problems. Rated PG-13

Runtime: 100 minutes
