I am hearing impaired and also have trouble at times with word reccognition due to the fact. I have replayed the conversation several times in scene towards the end of the film between the VA slave owner and the female slave (mother of the slave Mary escaped with). I have have been unable make out what they were saying to each other. Obviously, the scene was significant as they seemed close. If someone could tell me what they were saying I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

YOU MUST contact the production company's customer service dept. and ask about close captioned viewing possibilities. A hearing impaired person has a right to
take in every word of this important drama.

I hate it when a good movie like this one is not in close captions because it makes it very difficult for me and other hearing impaired people to fully enjoy them. There is a law in place that all movies made after January 1, 1998 are required to have it but since this movie was produced in 1996, it is in the clear.

I rewatched the movie and heard something I did not catch before which at least explains the relationship between the older female slave and the plantation owner. She had been his mammie. Even though I still can not make out the muffled dialogue between the two when she was dying and he was crying, at least I understand what the relationship was and why he was crying.

Okay I just finished the movie (it was wonderful) I hope you read this in enough time...

Master: Indigo it's me... it's Sherman... I'm here

Indigo: Master you gonna give ol' Indigo her wish. You could let my boy go

Master: I'm sorry Indigo I'm so sorry

Indigo: Don't cry now old master. Ol' Indigo got a sweet corncake for you. You run outside and play with my boy Elroy. He's a good boy. You and him both gonna be fine. {you can tell that she's kinda delusional by now because she's dying}

Master: Indigo... Mamie (sobs)

Yes, thank you, Herringfive - I recently watched this movie, however, the closed caption on my TV was scrambled, and difficult to read.
