Three Mississippi women from very different backgrounds build a surprising friendship during the 1960s civil rights era in ‘The Help’.
Their involvement in a secret writing project crosses cultural and racial boundaries, and as they bond into an unexpected sisterhood, their small town’s outdated code of ethics and behaviour is forced to change with the times.
A moving tale of hope conquering prejudice, ‘The Help’ is a comedy drama adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's 2009 novel.
Contains racism theme and one scene of crude behaviour.
