Woman In Motion Documentary Event
Get tickets
The College of Science STEM Accelerator, Women Leaders in STEM, and CVPA's Visiting Filmmakers Series are pleased to collaborate on a free screening and discussion of the documentary film Woman In Motion.
Todd Thompson's documentary tells the story of Nichelle Nichols and her contribution to America's space program. Witness her path from an early performance career to leading a recruitment campaign to diversify the space shuttle program. "While traveling around the country to recruit BIPOC and women as astronauts, she insisted upon astronaut training to make sure she was fully informed while speaking with potential recruits," writes Carla Renata. "She also butted heads with the US Government over the manner in which she was recruiting and warned NASA that if at any time they exploited her celebrity and did not keep their word, she would put the organization on blast through the media." Join us to be inspired by this cultural icon and champion of diversity who changed NASA forever.
