Movie: Hidden Figures (All Ages)

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

"Hidden Figures" is a powerful film that celebrates the story of three extraordinary African-American women. Released in 2017. Rated PG. 127 minutes.

Join us for a special screening of Hidden Figures, a powerful biographical drama that celebrates the untold story of three extraordinary African-American women—Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson—whose mathematical brilliance helped launch the U.S. space program.

Set in the segregated South of the 1960s, the film highlights their pivotal role at NASA in calculating the trajectory for America’s first orbital spaceflight, while courageously challenging racial and gender barriers. Based on the book by Margot Lee Shetterly, Hidden Figures is an inspiring tribute to resilience, intellect, and the pursuit of equality.
