US Consulate & BUEI Host Free Film Festival
The U.S. Consulate is partnering with the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute [BUEI] to offer a free summer film series May – August.
The public is welcome to attend a free matinee on the last Saturday of each month featuring films that cover a range of interesting topics from women in science, ocean conservation, endangered wildlife and American history.
The festival begins on Saturday, May 26 at BUEI with a screening of Hidden Figures, the incredible story of three brilliant African-American women working at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA] who served as the brains behind the launch into orbit of astronaut John Glenn. The visionary trio – Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson – crossed all gender and racial lines and inspired generations.
