Equal Means Equal — Free Screening 21 October 2016

equalmeansequalPlease join us on Friday (21 October 2016) at 7:00 PM for a free screening of the documentary film Equal Means Equal.

Equal Means Equal offers an unflinching look at how women are treated in the United States today.

Examining both real-life stories and precedent-setting legal cases, director Kamala Lopez uncovers how outdated and discriminatory attitudes inform and influence seemingly disparate issues, from workplace harassment to domestic violence, rape and sexual assault to the foster care system, and the healthcare conglomerate to the judicial system.

Watch the trailer below the fold:
