Hidden Figures

HIDDEN FIGURES – The incredible untold story of Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle MonĂ¡e)-brilliant African-American women working at NASA, who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation’s confidence, turned around the Space Race, and galvanized the world. The visionary trio crossed all gender and race lines to inspire generations to dream big.   Q-tips say: Loved it!

Mrs. Q says: Are you looking for a good movie based on facts about women of color dominating an intellectual field? A heartwarming, crowd-pleasing movie, Hidden Figures celebrates an overlooked — and crucial — contributions from a pivotal moment in American history.   Then STOP reading this and go rent/see it now. NO sex, nudity, violence, guns, racial innuendos, preaching or teaching us a lesson, just a great movie that even some teens might enjoy if you can get them to put down there cell phones. In fact, young women and men of all colors should see this and learn/see the way it was back then. Could be a talking moment between your teens (male & female) and you.
