Description

In conjunction with the Indy Film Festival, Black History Month Committee, Union Board and Campus Life we are pleased to be showing the movie

"Hidden Figures". The film is based on "three brilliant African-Americannwomen at NASA -- Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe) -- serve as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn (Glen Powell) into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation's confidence, turned around the Space Race and galvanized the world."
