I just took my sons to see this movie and I was thoroughly impressed with how they presented the life of these extraordinary African-American women. The obstacles they overcame to achieve success should be an inspiration to us all. It really hit home with me because I too had to overcome huge obstacles to achieve my dreams.

This is a must see movie. It is important from a historical point of view. Something I sure did not know. It was shocking to see how people of colour were treated in this time period in history. The woman depicted in this show were brilliant.

Public schools never taught the fact that these ladies paid such a major part in our space program. Thankful for civil rights - ALL people should be treated equally!! This movie is a REAL eye-opener!! Excellent!!!

Wonderful movie, with an outstanding cast. The backdrop is a snapshot of the racial discrimination of the times. The 60's, to be clear not that long ago. These women faced discrimination because of their colour and their sex. A very timely movie and the fact that is based in reality a must see. And who doesn't love anything about the history of the space program!

It's interesting that the three women had different and similar racist/sexist obstacles; they were in different departments. It's always a bonus when a film captures the spirit of 'against all odds' by recapturing true lives. One can't help wonder what other inspiring truths were omitted from our public school education.
