Hidden Figures [2016]
Summary
Based on Margot Lee Shetterly’s non-fiction book, Hidden Figures (2016) is a biographical drama that tells the extraordinary true story of three African-American female mathematicians—Katherine Goble Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson—who played pivotal roles at NASA during the Space Race of the 1950s and 1960s. Working within a racially segregated unit at Virginia's Langley Research Center, the women overcome systemic racial and gender discrimination to deliver crucial scientific breakthroughs: Katherine calculates critical trajectories for landmark missions like John Glenn's orbit around Earth,
Dorothy teaches herself and her colleagues computer programming to become NASA's first Black supervisor, and Mary successfully challenges segregation laws to complete night courses and become the agency's first Black female engineer. Through their brilliance and determination, these unsung pioneers secured major milestones for American space travel while breaking barriers for women and minorities in STEM.
