Hidden Figures is the story of three African-American women (Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson), all extremely gifted in math, who worked for NASA during the beginning of the space race and helped John Glenn into orbit. Being in 1960's America, they did so in the face of overt and heartbreaking discrimination. But they would persevere and each have impressive careers, being the first African-American women in several areas (as a NASA supervisor, to graduate in Aeronautical engineering, and more).
This was a fantastic movie, poignant and inspiring. Highly recommended.
