Viewing Guide: Hidden Figures (Film Study) -- Topics: Space Race / Civil Rights

This viewing guide has 46 questions that go in order with the film Hidden Figures. There are also 4 post-viewing short answer questions. This film portrays the events (Space Race and Civil Rights) that lead up to the moon landing. I use this film while teaching the Cold War and/or Civil Rights in my U.S. History class.

Hidden Figures tells the incredible untold story of Katherine Jonson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monae) – brilliant African-American women working at NASA who served as the brains behind the launch into orbit of astronaut John Glenn, a stunning achievement that turned around the Space Race. The visionary trio crossed all gender and racial line and inspired generations.

Answer Key is Included. View the preview of the document to see format. PDF and Microsoft Word available. Sorry...the film is NOT included...you will have to purchase that separately.
