Hidden Figures - Strand Summer Series

Hidden Figures is a biographical drama that tells the true story of three brilliant African-American women—Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson—working at NASA as "human computers" during the 1960s Space Race. Despite facing intense racism and sexism, they play a crucial role in calculating the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit.
