Think you knew everything there is to know about the Space Race of the 1960s? Well get ready to get schooled because Hidden Figures is here to clue you in to one story you’ve likely never heard.
Hidden Figures tells the story of Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughn (Octavia Spencer), and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monae) – three African-American women working at NASA to help get astronaut John Glenn into orbit.
The recently released trailer is incredibly fun. It shows the women dealing with prejudices against their race and gender and conveys the deep friendship our three leads have with one another.
With a stellar cast and an incredible true story, Hidden Figures should be on your must-watch list when it hits theaters January 13, 2017.
