Special Viewings for the NASA Workforce of ‘Hidden Figures’
The NASA workforce and their families will have four opportunities to collectively view the 2016 movie “Hidden Figures” on Friday, Aug. 28, at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. CDT, and Saturday, Aug. 29, at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. CDT, as their personal schedules allow.

In recognition of Women’s Equality Day and the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the 19th Amendment guaranteeing women’s right to vote, and the naming of the NASA Headquarters’ building after Mary W. Jackson, NASA has obtained permission from 20th Century Studios to stream the movie “Hidden Figures” to the agency’s workforce. This is an inspiring story that reminds us about perseverance, the importance of inclusion, and the value of different perspectives for mission success. The Glenn Research Center Women’s Advisory Group, in collaboration with the Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity, Office of Communications, and the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), worked together to make this viewing possible. NASA’s agreement with 20th Century Studios provides easy and secure access to view this movie using your NASA computer or laptop.
