Hidden Figures

Rating: 8/10 (15 March 2019)

This was a good movie and shows how much of a crucial role African Americans played during the space race. Throughout this film it tells the story of African Women at NASA, Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson. The most noticeable one would have to Katherine Johnson. This part of history is an interesting part of history to me and sadly during this part, African Americans are never talked about during the space race when taught in schools. These 3 women played a huge role when it came to sending man into space but are hardly ever talked about. That is why I find this movie to be so interesting. The director to this movie is Theodore Melfi, he did a great job at camera angles and really showing the power between these women. The main actors are Taraji P. Henson, Janelle Monae and Octavia Spencer. These are great actors and always do a good job on their role. I thought this was a great movie and should be shown in more history classes. It shows how effective these women were during that time period.
