The San Francisco Film Society and the Sloan Foundation co-hosted a thrilling advance screening of "Hidden Figures" on Saturday afternoon, December 17 at the Castro Theater.
A full house heard from director Theodore Melfi, left, and star Octavia Spencer, at the mike, who was nominated for a best supporting actress Golden Globe last week.
"Hidden Figures" is a rousing, based-on-a-true story about three of the black female mathematicians who provided unheralded brain-power to NASA in the 1950s and 1960s.
It's got terrific acting, great set and costume designs and an entertaining tale about racism and sexism back then, with a nods and echoes of today's situations for blacks and women.
Go see it in a theater with an audience!
