THE HIDDEN FIGURES MOVIE 2017

History v. Hollywood

Choose a movie or tv series (will generally require watching a full season) dealing with some aspect of Global Women’s History.

The essential question to answer in your paper: If one knows nothing about the time period, topic, person, etc will viewing this movie/tv series help or hinder his/her understanding of the time period, topic, etc?

To answer this question, you should compare and contrast the actual history of the event(s) as opposed to Hollywood’s representation of the event(s). What did the writer/director/creators get right? Wrong? Be detailed!

The details are important. If the costuming or sets are inaccurate, that is worth noting. The same goes if they are accurate.
