In a future where the world has been devastated by war, few intact and inhabitable areas remain. There a society has emerged where emotion is suppressed, with the result that crime and violence have also disappeared. Anyone who starts to have feelings is diagnosed with Switched On Syndrome (SOS), a condition requiring immediate treatment with numbing drugs. The story focuses on two workers at an information services company who become attracted to each other. As with so many tales of forbidden love, they strive to keep their relationship a secret, but it’s only a matter of time before they’re discovered by the all-seeing authorities. ■ Title — *Equals* ■ Director — Drake Doremus ■ Cast — Nicholas Hoult, Kristen Stewart, Vernetta Lopez ■ Rating — PG-13 ■ ©2015 \| 1h 41m \| Drama\, Romance\, Sci\-Fi ■ Watch it free with ads on Fandango: https://athome.fandango.com/content/browse/details/Equals/770860 ■ Watch it free with ads on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/687554/equals ■ Available free without ads to Kanopy subscribers (details below): https://www.kanopy.com/en/product/5324496 ■ Kanopy streaming service is available free to holders of DC library cards.

Mary Cassatt is one of America's greatest female painters, and she painted women in a time of turbulent change. Sometimes, a painting of a mother with a child is also a painting of a suffragette! Join us at the National Gallery to take a deeper look at 40 of Cassatt's works, including some rarely shown. The East Building's library also features a display of photos, letters, and other artifacts from the artist's life and work. After the art, we'll meet in the cafeteria for gelato and socializing. MEET AT: Just outside the National Gallery's West Building main entrance (facing the National Mall). The West Building is the one with the big columns and stairs out front. Look for Molly with the rainbow LAL sign. NEAREST METRO STOPS: Smithsonian and Archives/Navy Memorial COST: FREE THE ART: Mary Cassatt’s art and life reflect an independent spirit that defied expectations for women in her time. Explore three galleries in the National Gallery’s impressionist collection to look closely at how she worked. Some 40 paintings, drawings, and prints—largely drawn from our rich holdings of her work—show an artist shaped by tradition yet radically modern.
