The documentary was a very inspiring movie to watch. We saw that Nichelle Nichols is a very moving person. She went from being a singer to an actor to working with NASA. She brought people to come together of all races/genders. She really changed the future for all people.

Women in Motion Review
An artful, inspiring, and challenging tribute
Masterfully planned and beautifully edited, this documentary tells the true story of how Nichelle Nichols used her fame as Star Trek's Lt. Uhura to literally change the face of the U. S space program. Her tireless recruitment of Blacks, women, and candidates from other underrepresented groups for NASA's astronaut corps in the 1970s and 80s helped make America's presence in space more diverse and inclusive.
Entertaining and inspiring, the movie conveys Nichols' optimistic belief that, when anyone, celebrity or not, sees something wrong in society, they can help make it right. All can answer the sacred vocation of building a more generous, compassionate, and just present and future.

"Women in Motion"
The film Woman in Motion is inspirational, and exceptional. Nichelle Nichols is very inspiring for people that are trying to accomplish what she did, she also made history. Her life was also interesting, it was interesting, because at the beginning of her life she wasn't thinking about becoming what she is, she just wanted to be a singer, then she went on to become very inspirational.
