Staff Pick: Hidden Figures

Science on Screen Program Manager Andrea Kennedy is here with our latest Coolidge Staff Pick, highlighting Theodore Melfi's Hidden Figures

“I think the film has a really reassuring message for this moment: that if we all work together we can solve really hard problems, as long as we give everyone the opportunity to contribute to their fullest potential.” Watch the intro below, and then sit down to watch the film, which is streaming on FXNOW, and available to rent on some platforms.

Plus, below you can watch the full Science on Screen presentation Kennedy references in her video, with Dr. Evelynn Hammonds.
