The TVI Take
2016 Best Picture nominee. The true story of three Black women mathematicians at NASA during the Space Race.
Moderate cognitive demands. Exceptional educational value — the film recovers a deliberately erased chapter of scientific and civil rights history. Inspiring without being simplistic about the systemic barriers these women faced.
