To understand our changing world it is crucial to break off and think critically. In ESCIUPFilms we are determined to create room for open debate where guest speakers will share their knowledge and expertise while downing a beer.
The first season of this film screening cycle will deal with topics such the Brexit, computer science, migrations flows and the challengers of artificial intelligence.
Hidden figures explains the untold story of Katherine Jonson's (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monae). Three African-American women that worked at the NASA played a crucial role at the successful launch and posed in orbit of the astronaut John Glenn in 1969.
These scientists broke down social barriers of all sorts and inspired future generations.
