All are invited to a free Special Virtual Documentary Night in honor of Black History Month on Sunday, February 25th, 2024. The event is from 7 pm to 9 pm Eastern Standard Time, but you don’t have to stay the entire time. It is very flexible so people can come late or leave early if needed.
For this event we are meeting to talk about the documentary, Woman in Motion: Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek and the Remaking of NASA. This film looks at Nichelle Nichols’ inspirational mission to use her sci-fi clout to recruit 8,000 underrepresented astronauts and bring them to space. Ivor Dawson and Todd Thompson will be joining us for a special guest Q&A! Here is a link to where you can watch the film for free.

PLEASE WATCH THE FILM ON YOUR OWN PRIOR TO THE EVENT!
The way this works is that everyone watches the film on their own BEFORE the event, then we meet on zoom to discuss. We break everyone out into randomized small groups of around 4 or 5 people, give them a discussion prompt, and give them about 20 minutes or so to discuss in their randomized groups. We will do multiple rounds of small group discussion with different groups and different prompts. This gives everyone an opportunity to meet new people and hear a variety of voices and perspectives throughout the night. Finally, we will end with the special guest Q&A!
Again, the event is very flexible, so feel free to drop in late or leave early if that is what works best with your schedule. The zoom info will be available once you RSVP on the Eventbrite page. We have a wide range of people in attendance ranging in ages from 18 all the way up to 90s. Please feel free to share with anyone else you think would be interested.
