The STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) film is inspired by actual events. The film centers on the struggles and triumphs of injured American veterans and a physical therapist turned inventor. Bessie Virginia Blount, a scientist and inventor, created a tool used by billions of people all over the world. In the year 2015, she is still not recognized for it. However, Bessie Virginia Blount is famous for inventing a feeding device for wounded WWII veterans and the disposable emesis basin. The latter is still used in Belgium.
While there are several films about veterans, few portray them accurately. Similarly, few films show women of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) on the big screen.
This past June, British Nobel Prize-winning scientist Tim Hunt showed women still face bias in STEM fields. During a luncheon at a science journalism conference in South Korea, Hunt allegedly said "Let me tell you about my trouble with girls. Three things happen when they [female scientists] are in the lab: you fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticize them they cry," Tim Hunt was reportedly forced to resign over his controversial statements.
Director Èmilïe Ngombom initially started working on the project two years ago. Ngombom collaborated closely with many including journalist Denise M.Watson and colleague Rivka Silverberg.
“We are so excited to bring the world of an American female scientist and an American serviceman to life,” said Executive producer Michael Stein.
