The Department of Mass Media’s 4th annual See Me Series will focus on the 2016 feature film, “Hidden Figures.”
Film Summary: Three brilliant African-American women at NASA -- Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson -- serve 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.
The film was nominated for three Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay.
The See Me Series was created as one way for the department to emphasize identity and representation on campus, in the community, and as part of American culture.
The Department of Mass Media, housed in the Holland College of Arts and Media, is asking the entire campus to consider making films in the See Me Series, and the themes of those films, a part of their classes and encourage participation. As an accredited department, Mass Media prioritizes diversity and inclusion as one of its top priorities.
