Good for kids?: Yes This heartwarming 2016 drama turned a long-overdue spotlight on some of the most important figures of the space race: Three brilliant Black women whose determination, intelligence and skill made it possible for us to put a man on the moon. Taraji P. Henson plays the trailblazing Katherine Johnson, a gifted mathematician working for NASA whose experiences with prejudice can’t stop her from changing the world.
Good for kids?: No Like Sam Rockwell? Well, there’s a lot of him in "Moon," a compelling sci-fi mystery in which Rockwell plays Sam Bell, an employee of a space corporation in a near-future timeline.He’s stuck alone on the moon with only an obsequious robot for company, working a three-year shift that’s almost at an end. And he seems to be going a bit stir-crazy so that final day can’t come soon enough.
Good for kids: yes This acclaimed 2019 documentary is jaw-dropping in its simplicity – no narration, no interviews, no cheesy recreations. The archival footage is all you get, but when it’s archival footage of the Apollo 11 mission, what more do you need?
