Introduction

‘It is a movie about three female African-American mathematicians playing a
pivotal role in astronaut John Glenn’s launch into orbit. Meanwhile, they also
have to deal with racial and gender discrimination at work.’

Concept

Throughout the film, there has been a shots of blackboard full of math
equations. The message that I wanted send was that everyone, regardless
of being black or white, worked together in making the one of the biggest
events during that time in America happen. Math has no bias and doesn’t
discriminate, if you had the chops for it, you were valuable no matter your
colour.

Names of the actors were integrated into the visual and in a sense ‘hidden’
among the equations.
