Hidden Figures: The True Story of Four Black Women and the Space Race

This short animated film is one of the most wholesome and enriching things you can sit down and watch with your children — it is appropriate for nearly all ages, including young elementary-schoolers. Parents should be prepared for a gentle but honest conversation about racial segregation and why those rules were wrong, which is actually a rich opportunity to talk about the equal dignity God gives every person. There is real redemptive value here, and parents of faith are encouraged to fill in what the film leaves out by sharing that these remarkable women were also women of Christian faith who credited God with their strength.
