"Hidden Figures" refers to the untold story of African American women mathematicians, particularly Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson, who played crucial roles at NASA during the early years of the U.S. space program. Their work included complex calculations for space missions, contributing significantly to the success of projects like John Glenn's orbital flight. The film adaptation highlights themes of perseverance, equality, and the impact of overcoming systemic racial and gender barriers in the workplace. Ultimately, it celebrates their contributions to science and history, which were previously overlooked.
