Hidden Figures

The incredible untold story of Katherine G. Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson - brilliant African-American women working at NASA, who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit: a stunning achievement that restored the nation's confidence, turned around the Space Race, and galvanized the world.

Hacksaw Ridge

As an army medic, Doss single-handedly evacuated the wounded near enemy lines - braving enemy fire and putting his own life on the line. Doss was also the first conscientious objector to ever win the Congressional Medal of Honor. (That was the weirdest Spider-Man Sequel ever!!)
