On August 18 at 6 p.m., the ImageNation Outdoors Film and Music Festival, in conjunction with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, will present a free screening of Hidden Figures at St. Nicholas Park. The park is located at 135th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue.
Hidden Figures tells the untold
story of Katherine Jonson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia
Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monae) – brilliant African-American
women working at NASA who served as the brains behind the launch into
orbit of astronaut John Glenn, a stunning achievement that turned around
the Space Race. The visionary trio crossed all gender and racial line
and inspired generations.
The film received three Academy Award nominations, including "Best Picture". Additional information is available here.
