Historic, truthful, stunning and throughly entertaining!

It is true why are there not more reviews for this amazing film? I saw Hidden Figures, (clever title) at the movies and loved it. As truthfully depicted in the film, John Glenn would not go up in space until he got the hand done calculations of Katherine Johnson projecting exactly where his capsule would land after the mission was finished. The team of mathematicians used at NASA in the beginning before computers really took off had two strikes against them; one: they were women, two: they were black women. There wasn't a bathroom for them in their own work building even though our space program was dependent on this amazing team of women. Another indignity and disgrace, not to mention getting their due. This is a beautifully shot, fleshed out script, nice character development and a fine cast. Not to be missed.
