How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A rousing true story of three brilliant women navigating brilliant minds and unbending racism to prove their indispensability to a space program that didn't want to see them. It's angry at injustice but refuses to be diminished by it.
