HIDDEN FIRGURES (NETFLIX REVIEW) 2016

January 2, 2025

It was nice to watch a nice black history movie telling us about great women and how they created great impact in creating ground breaking findings in NASA.

For those of you who didn’t get to watch this amazing movie a few years ago, here is a perfect opportunity to do so, the movie told a fantastic story about 3 black women, who went on to break the glass ceilings and records in NASA. Dorothy was exceptional at what she did in NASA and despite doing the work so well as the supervisor she never got promoted but kept on working and improving herself daily. Mary Jackson went on to be the first black female to attend an all-white school dominated by male to become the first ever female black engineer setting a smashing record at NASA, Lastly was the famous Katherine, she was a genius and absolutely amazing with firgures, she got the calculations right for the first American astronaut to go out of space and land back on earth safely, she broke every ceiling and became the first black woman to set records at NASA despite all the challenges, obstacles, hurdles and issues of being not just black but also playing in a male dominated space, these 3 amazing women didn’t let anything on earth stop them not even their color. This was an amazing, inspiring movie to watch, I sure will recommend it anyday anytime as the lessons were well passed.
