hiddenClever title to this to be seen movie telling the heretofore relatively unknown stories of three African-American women, who broke the color and gender barriers at NASA in the 1960s.

“Hidden” because many stories of important people of color have been disregarded for decades.

“Figures” because these women were great with analytical mathematics, engineering and computers and were integral in the process of getting American astronaut John Glenn into orbit around the earth.

And back again safely.
