The Friday Movie Mavens and The Travelling Toe went to see the new movie "Hidden Figures". It is the story based on actual events concerning the lives of three
African-American women who worked for NASA at Langley. Their efforts ensured the safety of the much-acclaimed astronauts going into space, while advancing equal rights for women of all races.
As the movie opens, the space race with Russia is in full swing. Russia was winning the race and the US was experiencing one failure after another.
The overview of the movie from the internet is as follows:
Three brilliant African-American women at NASA -- Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe) -- serve as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn (Glen Powell) into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation's confidence, turned around the Space Race and galvanized the world.
We found the movie to be very entertaining and interesting. The three leading ladies were excellent in their roles. Also the young actor who played John Glenn was a cute pie. At the end of the movie, photos of the real women were shown on the screen. They all achieved success against overwhelming odds!
