Unwind with an uplifting film chosen to leave you smiling and help you recharge during the semester.
Celebrate Black History Month with a special movie night showcasing stories that recognise and celebrate Black history, culture and experiences.
Join fellow students for an evening of film, conversation and community as we mark Black History Month together. We'll be watching the 2016 Academy Award nominated film Hidden Figures.
"Hidden Figures tells the true story of three African-American women who worked as human "computers" at NASA during the Space Race in the 1950s and 60s. Based on the book by Margot Lee Shetterly and the 2016 film, it highlights how they overcame racial and gender segregation to help launch American astronauts into space."
