The Help (12A)

Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan returns to 1960s Mississippi after graduating from university with dreams of becoming a writer. Determined to do her bit to end the racial discrimination, Skeeter sets out to write a book called The Help, detailing the extraordinary lives of the black maids, who have spent countless years raising white children. At first, the maids are reluctant to talk but Aibileen Clark is the first to agree, sharing her thoughts as she comes to terms with the recent loss of her only son.
