Great interview. I just found out about this movie yesterday and watched a half dozen CZcams videos about it and share that with a young African American lady yesterday to do the same.
I don’t like that they focused on women but they took the black women aspect of it and minimized it. The secondary aspect of this movie is that these women are women. The main aspect of this film is that during the time when segregation ruled the land that these black women showed the perseverance the bravery and intellect to help us get a man on the moon
I was 😠 angry that these ladies' story took so long to be heard, but I realized that because of the nature of their work, it was regarded as classified information. It would take 50 years for it to be declassified!!!
Just because some of you were not aware of this doesn't mean it wasn't known. STEM has always been the weirdos in the room. (Yes, i had a teacher call me weird back in the 60s!) Anyone really interested in the Space program back in the 60s & 70s knew about them. Especially women! They are the reason places like Ga Tech started admitting women! They were admitting black MEN before they let women in. And how can you say they minimized the black women aspect? Running across campus to get to a bathroom was actually a little over dramatic plot device, but it served to point out the built in biases. My bathrooms in the dorms for the first year or so at Tech still had urinals in them!! Edit.. For context, I am a 72 yo white girl who went to Tech in 1970.. I still hear "We don't see many women doing this"..
I hope men with ego problems... Men with petty and demeaning attitudes towards women can learn something from this movie. ! Its 2022 and women are here to occupy an equal place with men in our society..! I just hope that society will treat them fairly..!
Some truths about female and Blacks contributions are being wonderfully shared, finally! But there is a lot more out there to know. I am a Black grandma of a very bright grandson, who wants to be a pilot, and his three sisters, one of which is 9 yrs. old, and is already getting awards for playing golf. I pray that they all will rise to the very top and attain their ambitions. But now in 2024, resently, a certain politician, who shall remain nameless, is talking about "Black jobs," what a shame!! You see what is being insinuated!? Then Mr. Biden responded to the "Black job" statement by saying, "I know what a Black job is, it's President of the United States!" (for example.) Thank God for fair, good White folks, who, like us Blacks, are tired of hearing this evil, repressive, oppressive rhetoric. For, all children need to know that they can excell to any heights--Blacks and Whites and everyone else in-between; male and female alike, rich and poor--EVERYONE!!!!!
This is what you get when you really work and don't study critical race theory, gender studies or lesbian dance studies.By the way I am Black living in Cape Town South Africa. These ladies did not see themselves at victims

Love the inside from Octavia Spencer about "pie"
They didn't 'forget to record the story'. They chose NOT to tell it
Truth.
well if it didnt get recorded how did any body tell it?????
They took their dang long freaking time to get around to telling it!!!

Are you stupid??!!.... all other white males and females were known and mentioned!!
Is that the real reason? Really?
