"Hidden Figures"

    "Hidden Figures", an awesome movie based on true historical facts about three colored women who made the story by challenging the biggest obstacle of gender and also of racism. Katherine Johson (played by Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (played by Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (played by Janelle Moae) worked ad NASA; they are brillant mathematicians and work under the barriers of absurde protocol of not lettin them to do their job openly. The movie is directed by Theodore Melfi, released on December 2016, and with a cast of brillant actors awarded with different prizes in Motion Picture.
     The movie begins with a little pretty colored girl at the age of 11, who holds the talent of figures and mathematical abilities, this pretty girl is the main protagonist of the movie, Katherine, who with her two other friends Dorothy and Mary worked at segregate division West Area Computing in Virginia. Women were determined and well supply with a sense of humor also with strength to bear with such tension circumstances. They aspiring success despite the obstacles presented of being black color women. The spaceas separated among white-people and black-people without mixing them. so being black poeple mean to be under the pressure of living a life with some restricted area, using certain means of transports, not feeling the freedom and not having the same rights as the white people. If this situation is such for black people, imagine of being black and being woman too. So the division among race is added the division among gender.
   Because of this absurde division Katherine everyday, was forced to walk a half-mile to another building to use the colored people's bathroom. She was assigned to assist Al Harrison team because of her skills in analytic geometry.  She became the firt woman on the team and farther more the black one. After being aware of teh situation of the restroom Al Harrison (played by Kevin Kostner), abolished bathroom segregation stating that: "We all pee the same color"! This abolishment was also in the ules because he allowed Katherine to be included in their meetings, because he believed in her skills and because he saw her motivation and her ability of "hidden figures". Despite this Katherine was forced to remove her name from the reports.
    Mary, another determined woman who aimed to become an engineer went to court and "grabbed" the permission of the judge to attend night classes in a school of white people. She used the argument of being the first and succeeded even her husband admitted defeat before he and declare his suppot in her biggest challenge. And at he end but not the last Dorothy, the other capable and brillant woman who worked with numbers converted them for a maschine. She aspired to became a supervisor but this position were not allowed to black women, but it was for her ability that she not only obtained the position but also she managed to bring her girls, the other black women who worked with her at the segregated area. In this way she broke the segregated division of West Area Computers.
    "Hidden Figures" is the best movie represeted the true facts of a story. Hidden figures, is for the numbers of Mathematics who Katherine found and made possible to br,ing home the astronaut, but also for the figures of the women who worked "unknown" for their work. The play of the cast is ic and also brillant and very realist and it touches some crucial aspects such as gender and racism. Theme of the movie can be strongly a call to the humanity because we seem to forget about the most fundamental concept of being human. We cannot pretend to seek emancipation when we do not respect the most basic and important right that of respecting human as a person and not by dhe differences of gender, race and class. We all have the same rights regardless of ethnical. gender, color or any other type of division.
