But not yet.
Hidden Figures follows three black women working at NASA during the 1960's.
I found Hidden Figures to be hugely enjoyable. It is a lot of fun to watch and tells an interesting story about people facing adversity. I wasn't aware that there were black women working in respected roles in NASA during a time where America was extremely racist and women were not seen as equal as they are now. The film mainly follows Taraji P. Henson as Katherine Johnson, Octavia Spencer as Dorothy Vaughan and Janelle Monae as Mary Jackson. They are shown working against the system to help the space programme, but there is one scene, shown in the trailer, where Kevin Costner's character takes down a coloured women's toilet's sign with a crowbar. It doesn't work in the film and it could have done without it.
In short: Hidden Figures is a good time that tells an important and inspiring story.
