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.

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.

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.
