I have Cerebral Palsy and first had a seizure when I was 14 bc of watching the flashback scenes in the Bourne Ultimatum movie. No warning was shown anywhere in the beginning of the movie or in the movies information.
I’ve yet to see Epilepsy or Seizure warnings on anything other than video games. ALL movies and television shows should be required to show Epilepsy or Seizure warnings, unlike when Disney sent one out almost a week after Incredibles 2 came out. That was too late for a friend’s husband who ended up having a Grand-Mal Seizure in the movie theater bc of the 2 min long scene with a flashing white light (inside a darkened theater), as well as multiple other scenes in the movie with the same flashing white light. The average incidence and/diagnosis of epilepsy EVERY year is at 150,000 (or 48 out of every 100,000 person)...and 1 in 26 people develop epilepsy at any time in their life. The prevalence of epilepsy in the U.S. that have active epilepsy is 8.4 out every 1,000 person...and 16.5 per 1,000 person has reported they had epilepsy in some point of their life.
I’m looking to at least get 150,000 signatures which matches the amount of just Americans who are diagnosed with any type of form of Epilepsy EVERY year

I believe this should have been done long, long ago.

My brother had a bad time in the theater because of the strobing lights in that movie. Why is this not a standard warning yet?? Seems like common sense.
