This movie tells the story of three African American female mathematicians who worked at NASA during the space race. Katherine Johnson was part of the Space Task Group and was the first woman getting credit as an author of a research report within the Flight Research Division of NASA. Dorothy Vaughan was the first black supervisor at NASA and working with the IBM7070 using programming language Fortran (which I also used during my engineering degree late 80's).
Mary Jackson became the first black female engineer at NASA and did major contribution towards wind tunnel modelling.
An very interesting movie giving background how things were done during the space race. Today we have computers... at that time all was done using manually!
