Inspiring, beautiful and hopeful

The untold story about the three African American women who helped NASA fly the first astronauts into space is finally put on the big screen. It's movies like these that absolutely must be told, as there are loads who haven't been widely known yet.
This film reminded me of one of my all time favorite films, The Imitation Game, another biopic about a math genius underdog who's extraordinary skills helped change the world for the better.
I personally detest maths, but the heart of the story lies in the real life women who overcame both racial and gender barriers and use their skills to advance the achievements of NASA.
The soundtrack is absolutely marvelous and should be nominated for many awards. The person who made the biggest impression on me was Taraji P. Henson as Katherine Johnson, the no- nonsense mathematician who worked closely with Al Harrison (Kevin Costner) head of NASA.
This is an incredibly inspiring and uplifting film. Definitely not one to miss!
