It's well known that films992 Archivesinfluence the hopes and dreams of future generations. Academy Award-winner Octavia Spencer just put her money where her mouth is, when it comes to inspiring tomorrow's greats.
The Hidden Figuresstar took to Instagram recently, letting her fans know that she'd joined in on the effort to send disadvantaged communities to see the film for free.
SEE ALSO: Why 'Hidden Figures' — and its unsung heroes — is the ultimate NASA storyThe actress who plays NASA genius Dorothy Vaughan in the film, bought out an entire cinema in L.A. so low-income families can watch the critically-acclaimed box office-smasher.

"My mom would not have been able to afford to take me and my siblings," she wrote on in a post, announcing the MLK weekend screening in Baldwin Hills. True to her word, the actress bought out the 8 p.m. Friday slot of Hidden Figures at Rave movie theatre.
But Spencer isn't the only one making an effort to get as many low-income young people to the movies as possible.
Alongside aspiring young astronaut Taylor Richardson, crowdfunding campaigns have popped up in multiple states.
Celebrating women of colour in science and maths? Honouring the true story of NASA experts that sent the first man into orbit? That's worth a whole lot more than a movie ticket -- and it's a story these young people won't forget anytime soon.
