Is there a place to download audio description for films as netflix doesn't often have it (self.Blind)

Netflix sometimes commissions audio description tracks for movies and shows that don't have them.For example, they commissioned new audio description tracks for the first three Jurassic Park movies and all six seasons of the sitcom Community. Sometimes you can also find audio description tracks on iTunes, DVD/BLU-Ray releases or Prime. So rather than downloading the audio description from an illegal source, you should request audio description for a show by reporting it as an issue with the title and also contacting Netflix support to request it.
By the way, what movie do you want audio description for that doesn't have it now?

NBC Universal have announced that a BSG reboot will be released on their upcoming streaming service Peacock. I think it's likely that it will have audio description. If NBC retroactively adds audio description to content on Peacock (which I also think is fairly likely), you could ask them to add AD for earlier versions of the show.

Interesting. Good to know, thanks!

I had no idea Community had AD now. Thanks for that. I mentioned audio description to Dan Harmon a few years ago. I doubt it had anything to do with it but I'm going to pretend it did.

Another show Netflix just added AD for is all 5 seasons of Breaking Bad. Like Community, it was distributed by Sony Pictures Television, so I wonder if they were involved with it.

Blind Mouse Mart Movie Vault used to, but I don't think they do anymore (or if it is, I haven't found it).

My favourite one right now for films and tv shows is www.audiovault.net
but there's also
www.blindmicemart.com
and if you sign up there with your credit card information you get access to all their stores and free access to their described movie collection.

There is a place called Audio Vault that is very good. It has a lot of audio described movies and it updates itself. Blind Mice Mart is also pritty good but has incredibly slow download speeds.
