The Help (2011)

Dana and Tom do their best to tip-toe around a difficult race-relations film steeped in controversy with The Help (2011): written and directed by Tate Taylor, starring Viola Davis, Emma Stone, Octavia Spencer, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Jessica Chastain.

Plot Summary: In 1960s Mississippi, Southern society girl Skeeter (Emma Stone) returns from college with dreams of being a writer. She turns her small town on its ear by choosing to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent white families. Only Aibileen (Viola Davis), the housekeeper of Skeeter's best friend, will talk at first. But as the pair continue the collaboration, more women decide to come forward, and as it turns out, they have quite a lot to say.
