RIVETING, INSPIRING, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.... 10/10 GREAT MOVIE

"Woman In Motion was extremely good because it talked about people that the history books don't. Before I watched the movie I never knew who Nichelle Nichols was and that she was the one who did the real work to get NASA to where it is now. We definitely need more films like this to show young people that there is more than what you see on the HollyWood screen. I think she's very encouraging and sets the example that we can all change the world if we believe."

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!

In the film, Nichelle Nichols came off truly as a human, with a charisma about her that drew you in, despite the monumental path that she blazed. The film shows you just how far, essentially anybody, can go in life. Nichelle played a vital role in creating a more diverse space program, and arguably a more diverse and fair country as well.

Well Done Film

I loved this movie, it was very inspirational. Nichelle Nichols played a crucial role in allowing women and African Americans into NASA and the space programs. She was also the first African American women to play a role on national television.

I loved "Woman in Motion"

I watched "Woman in Motion" with a series of emotions (lots of crying) with my young daughters. The film is fantastic! I admired Nichelle Nichols since I was a child. Watching her in Star Trek made me love Science Fiction even more and I always dreamed of the things that I could do. The future indeed seemed promising. She was a singer, dancer, a theater star, a movie and tv icon. This movie covered the importance of her role in Star Trek, as well as the array of efforts that she spearheaded in STEM - most notably helping to promote and diversify NASA. Thank you Nichelle Nichols, for everything you have done. She helped to change the world.
