Brilliant, sensitive, and funny. A jewel about segregation in the 60s, women rights, motherhood, racism, solidarity, physics, maths, and spaceships!

How many hidden human beings are behind every important project? A lot! Why we didn't hear about the amazing achievements of these three incredible brilliant women until now it's something that makes me both angry and sad.
The movie is brilliant, sensitive, and funny. It touches many different issues: segregation in the 60s, women rights, motherhood, racism, solidarity, physics, maths, and spaceships!
The casting is superb, the music is great, and the stories are breathtaking.
I was juts thrilled to see a video of NASA where they have a talk with the amazing cast of Hidden Figures. The moderator says: "In the 1960s NASA was on an ambitious journey to the moon, and the human computers portrayed in 'Hidden Figures' helped to get us there. Hidden Figures is a ... movie based on actual events. While the film dramatizes some aspects, it is true at the struggles of the women at the center of the story: Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson. The victories for racial and gender rights were not achieve easily or quickly, and our work is not done" (you can see this video on the net, look for the NASA channel).
This movie is a jewel for all ages. I will definitely take my older kids (10 and 8 years old) to see it, because I always talk to them about the dangers of racism and how rotten racism and sexism is, and they love spaceships. At the end of the film all the cinema clapped. I'm Spanish and Spanish people tend to do what they feel, we are loud and emotional, but I didn't see a clap like that in a long time.
