NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE Oscar Nominated For Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay
Set amid the civil rights movement, the never-before-told true story of NASA’s African-American female mathematicians who played a crucial role in America’s space program.
Before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of professionals worked as ‘Human Computers’, calculating the flight paths that would enable these historic achievements. Among these were a coterie of bright, talented African-American women. Segregated from their white counterparts, these ‘colored computers’ used pencil and paper to write the equations that would launch rockets, and astronauts, into space.
Moving from World War II through NASA’s golden age, touching on the civil rights era, the Space Race, the Cold War, and the women’s rights movement, Hidden Figures interweaves a rich history of mankind’s greatest adventure with the intimate stories of five courageous women whose work forever changed the world.

Det er helt sikkert en vigtig bog at læse og jeg er glad for endelig at have læst/ lyttet til den.Dog er der rigtig mange navne og historier at holde styr på og meget fagsprog og teknisk viden (det bør måske ikke komme som en overraskelse i det her tilfælde, men til sammen gjorde det at bogen var noget tung og tør at komme igennem og det var det, der gjorde den lidt kedelig for mig). Selvom filmen langt fra kan få alle vigtige detaljer med, synes jeg, den gjorde et godt stykke arbejde med at fange essensen af det bogen ville fortælle, dog med et par enkelte situationer, som skete for andre personer end i filmen.
