This page lists full-length DVDs or streaming videos with audio description tracks available from sources other than Amazon, stores, or the primary streaming services. For example, some of these films were featured in Film Festivals but didn't make it to local cinemas. We rely primarily on contributions from video owners or users who discover these videos, as it is hardly a comprehensive list. See our Streaming AD page for other possible sources of described streamed videos. (For example, we list a limited number of videos here available on Vimeo and YouTube. Clicking either of those links will list their described videos.) "Fee" after the video information indicates there is a rental or purchase fee. To suggest additions to our list, use the Webmaster link at the bottom of the page.

Children's Illustrated Books with AD (Free or Fee, depending on source) 
Feb '23Imagination Storybooksadds audio description of the pictures in both video and audiobooks for children. Over 100 described videos are available on the Described and Captioned Media Program Channel. New audios with AD are available every week on their podcast, "Illustrated Audiobooks with the Audiobook Wizard". You will also find over 100 titles listed from these providers: Audible; Barnes & Noble Audiobooks; and Libro.FM (for libraries). Listen to a sample illustrated book.
Streaming Service (Free and Fee)PBS, the Public Broadcasting System, offers an app which gives the user access to two levels of service: Free and Passport. The Passport level is available to people who make monthly ($5 or more) or annual ($60 or more) contributions to PBS. PBS does not offer you or us any listing of what shows have audio description tracks, so we can't list them. Most of the shows with AD are probably at the Passport level. Since PBS service is offered at a state or regional level, you need to specify your location before viewing details at www.pbs.org.
Streaming Service (Fee)In September 2022, the AMC+ streaming service began offering audio description for a very limited number of offerings. This is all we know at this time.
Jehovah's Witnesses has invested in training of audio describers and has added audio description in 48 languages to the 400 languages they support in their videos! So far they are concentrating on describing the video clips that are embedded in the presentations made at their annual conventions during 2020 and 2021, but other videos might be available in the future. You will find a list of their audio described videos here: JW Audio Described Videos.
