NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE Oscar Nominated For Best Picture and
Best Adapted Screenplay Set amid the civil rights movement, the
never-before-told true story of NASA's African-American female
mathematicians who played a crucial role in America's space
program. Before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of
professionals worked as 'Human Computers', calculating the flight
paths that would enable these historic achievements. Among these
were a coterie of bright, talented African-American women.
Segregated from their white counterparts, these 'colored computers'
used pencil and paper to write the equations that would launch
rockets, and astronauts, into space. Moving from World War II
through NASA's golden age, touching on the civil rights era, the
Space Race, the Cold War, and the women's rights movement, Hidden
Figures interweaves a rich history of mankind's greatest adventure
with the intimate stories of five courageous women whose work
forever changed the world.
