It is in the DC area and MetroAccess will go there.  I don't know how long
the movie is.

The book on which the movie is based is also available on BARD.  Reading the
book would be a good idea before you see the movie.

Hello all:

Saturday at the Greater Baltimore Chapter meeting, President Riccobono
mentioned a screening of a new Netflix series taking place the evening of
Wednesday, November 1, at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. Below
is more information about the screening, as received from Netflix. Please
let me know by no later than Friday, October 27, if you are interested in
attending this event. Importantly, the young actress who plays the lead role
is blind, representing a commitment to authentic casting by Netflix and the
producers of the limited series.
This is in no small part due to the advocacy of the National Federation of
the Blind.

Please note: Netflix has allotted sixty tickets for area members of the
National Federation of the Blind. I'll put interested individuals on the
list on a first-come, first-served basis. At this time, no group
transportation is planned.

If you are unable to attend the screening but wish to view the series, it
will be available on Netflix beginning November 2.

Warmly,

Chris
