In mathematical terms, an outlier is a data point that differs greatly from other observations. It is an apt description for a person, too, who is outside the norms. Outlier follows the trajectory of an African-American girl wonder whose mathematical genius would catapult astronauts into space; she had a career with NASA where she broke race and gender barriers. This documentary includes many interviews, including one with Margot Shetterly, the author of the book Hidden Figures. Johnson’s life was one of three profiled in the Hollywood film of the same name.
