On Friday, 2nd of June, 2017. Over 20 of our Asikana Network members filled the screening room at BongoHive to watch “Hidden Figures.” The film is based on the true story of the lives of Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson, brilliant female African American women mathematicians of NASA who made Crucial contributions to the space race of the early 1960s, including the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit.
After the viewing, the group discussed and gave wonderful responses to the questions that were being asked by the facilitator Ella.
