The Next Chapter Feature Film Series returns for 2026 on Thursday, February 26 at 10:15 AM in the Innovation Lab Classroom. We look forward to showing Hidden Figures (2016), a biographical drama about three female African-American mathematicians providing crucial calculations for NASA's space race against the Soviets, all while dealing with the racist and sexist assumptions of their white co-workers. This film stars Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monáe, Kirsten Dunst, and Jim Parsons.
