BATCOMBE Film Society will be screening Hidden Figures on Friday 15th September at the Jubilee Hall.
Batcombe’s new season of nine films begins with the inspiring Oscar-nominated Best Film 2017.
Three brilliant African-American women mathematicians at NASA – Katherine Johnson (Taraji P Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe) – serve as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn (Glen Powell) into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored US confidence, turned around the Space Race and galvanized the world.
Doors open at 7.15pm, film starts at 7.45pm. Free parking, licensed bar and soft refreshments. Wheel-chair access, hearing loop. For details call Elizabeth Hunt on 01749 850304 or ehunt@mbzonline.net. Sponsored by At The Chapel.
