The Help (2011)

Rated PG-13 146 min - Drama
Aibileen Clark is a middle-aged African-American maid who has spent her life raising white children and has recently lost her only son; Minny Jackson is an African-American maid who has often offended her employers despite her family's struggles with money and her desperate need for jobs; and Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan is a young white woman who has recently moved back home after graduating college to find out her childhood maid has mysteriously disappeared. These three stories intertwine to explain how life in Jackson, Mississippi revolves around "the help"; yet they are always kept at a certain distance because of racial lines.

          this movie was great , it really talked about want happened back then when we had slavery. I don't recommend this movie for kids younger than 10, but if you are older it is fine but it is more likely for adults.

              I am interested in movies about racial comeback because I want to see how many different people felt during those times of hardships.

                i really liked this movie because the first time that i watched itthe colored people didn't get to do the things that we can do now even though they filmed it in the 2000's.
