What is the author's point of view of the movie "Hidden Figures"?
This film has great acting and brings to light history of our space program that I had never been made aware of. Not only does it show how African American women contributed to mathematics but also to computer science and engineering!! Great movie and should be required viewing in every school!

• She thinks it was a horrible movie and a waster of money
• She thinks it was boring and not worth going to the theater
• She thinks it was great and taught viewers about who made an impact in the space program
• She thinks it was alright and somewhat entertaining
