HIDDEN FIGURES

Hidden Figures (2016) is a film by Theodore Melfi that tells the incredible true story of Katherine G. Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson, three brilliant Afro-American women who worked for NASA. Known as the “living computers”, they worked on the launch into orbit of the astronaut John Glenn, a success that restored the country’s confidence and was crucial in the space race.

In the round table before the screening, Marta González and Carlos Tabernero Holgado will reflect on how female scientists to whom we owe today’s knowledge and technologies have been hidden, and in many cases forgotten.
