[i]Scheduled to blast off April 14 into theatrical and digital orbits, "Mission Control: The Unsung Heroes of Apollo" likely will be referred to by some wags as "Not-So-Hidden Figures," given its focus on the mostly white and entirely male teams of mission controllers and support crews that were frequently visible (on TV and in newsreels) yet largely anonymous during the early days of the U.S. manned-spaceflight program. But the recent box office success of director Theodore Melfi's compelling drama about contributions by African-American women to the space program may boost mainstream interest in this celebratory documentary, which enthralls with a more traditional but equally absorbing stories-behind-the-story narrative.[/i]
