Hidden Figures – Based on true story
Deepawali week end special!!!
Based on a true story about black female mathematicians who worked at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) during the Space Race. The film stars Taraji P. Henson as Katherine Johnson, a mathematician who calculated flight trajectories for Project Mercury and other missions. The film also features Octavia Spencer as NASA supervisor Dorothy Vaughan and Janelle Monáe as Mary Jackson, NASA engineer.(Ref:wiki page on it )
Truly inspiring!! Just watched it today.
