“Hidden Figures”, is a biographical film released in 2016 in the USA. In this film, we deal with two kinds of discriminations, racial and gender one. This is a very inspiring movie, that shows that we can achieve what we want in life, only when we have a strong determination.

  There are three main characters in this movie. The three of them are Afro-American women that work in the NASA’s company. Katherine Johnson, is the human computer, Dorothy is the supervisor of the colored women’s section, and Mary, the engineer. These women are extremely intelligent and with a strong will for gaining their rights as equal human beings they are. They are discriminated for their skin color, even though they obviously, especially Catherine, are the most capable ones in this department. The staff  are under the pressure of the Russians to send the first astronaut into space. All of them are trying hard to make the right calculations to reach their goal, but the only one who made it was Catherine , which was a surprise for everyone there. Everything for the “colored” women in the staff was separate from the rest. Even the most basic and simple things, like bathrooms or the teapot were separate for “colored” and white women on the department. Harrison was the head of the NASA, and in the same time the “hero” because he was the only one who supported Catherine. 

 In all, what I like in this movie and find it worthy to watch , is these women’s courage to fight against the flow and to take the credits of their hard work. It is a movie that keeps you attached and the actions flow so naturally. There are two phrases that grabbed my attention. The first one, sounds very funny when Mr. Harrison says “here at NASA, we all pee the same color”, but it shows that we all are equal. The second one is a phrase of Catherine “and it’s not because we wear skirts, but because we wear glasses”, meaning that women can be as intelligent as men are, even more. I really enjoyed it!
