A little racism blended with feminism and coupled with mathematical intelligence. Based on a true story this movie is an eye-opener for all of us. One can only admire the sheer brains of those 3 beautiful African American women who made history with their genius and hard work but in the process they faced so many setbacks, humiliation, obstacles and negative personalities.
