Thursday 2 March 2023 – 7.30pm @ Killara Centre, Camperdown

To celebrate International Women’s Day (March 8), a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women – we are screening HIDDEN FIGURES a biographical drama that honours three brilliant African American women at NASA in the 1960s. 

As the United States raced against Russia to put a man in space, NASA found untapped talent in a group of African American female mathematicians that served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in U.S. history. Based on the true life stories of three of these women, known as “human computers”, we follow these women as they quickly rose the ranks of NASA alongside many of history’s greatest minds specifically tasked with calculating the momentous launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, and guaranteeing his safe return. Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and Katherine Johnson crossed all gender, race, and professional lines while their brilliance and desire to dream big, beyond anything ever accomplished before by the human race, firmly cemented them in U.S. history as true American heroes.

HIDDEN FIGURES screens at 7.30pm on Thursday 2 March 2023 in the Killara Centre, Camperdown. Rated PG 2hr 7min

$10 entry for guests or $30 for a 3 x film membership subscription. The entry fee includes supper and refreshments after the screening.
