Hidden Figures

I had already had the opportunity to see the trailer of this movie a couple of months ago, although I had not had the opportunity to see it. Personally I think that it is not one but several important issues in today's society that, as much as we have worked, we have not managed to solve: racism, labor exploitation, credit theft, underestimation, machismo, education, etc.

I consider myself a person who actively works to make a change in society, in addition to the social practices we do in the Tec I have had the opportunity to work on other social projects with AIESEC to attack, more specifically, education problems and inequality of opportunities .

In the film we can see, very clearly, that girls are trained, intelligent, dedicated, honest, but their crime is to be women and, above all, to be black. But why should this make a difference? We have seen over the years that people with different qualities are those who provide the best ideas, who achieve the best things. And I want to clarify that with "different qualities" I don't mean to be black, gay or autistic, but to be something different from what society expects us to be, and that's not bad at all.

I think this diversity of people is what allows the world to keep moving. We see it at work and at school, a multidisciplinary team with different backgrounds, different ways of thinking, different opportunities, different stories, always generate better results than a group of people who have the same characteristics, why? Because they are teams that have more to work with, more to discuss. And from discussion, from questioning, knowledge is born.

I consider this a film to reflect on what each of us is doing to change this situation, to realize if we are part of the problem, if we are the ones who discriminate and underestimate people because of prejudices that were instilled in us. This and other films will allow us to question ourselves about the attitudes that we should encourage, those that we should change and those that we should eliminate to become better people, with morals and ethics.
