Drama set against the backdrop of the 1960s American civil rights
movement, based on the best-selling novel by Kathryn Stockett. It
is 1964 and racism is rife in Jackson, Mississippi. Skeeter (Emma
Stone), the strong-willed daughter of a well-to-do family, returns
to the town from college to take up a role at the local newspaper.
However, working as a 'homemaker hints' columnist in the paper is
by no means the extent of Skeeter's ambitions. Disturbed by the
negative attitude of her friend, Hilly Holbrook (Bryce Dallas
Howard), towards her house staff, Skeeter decides to write a book
chronicling the experiences of the black maids who have spent much
of their lives serving her and her contemporaries. Initially, the
maids seem reluctant and suspicious. However, when the
much-respected Aibileen (Viola Davis) comes forward to offer her
story, the floodgates open and the women take the opportunity to
make themselves heard. Octavia Spencer won an Academy Award for
Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Aibileen's friend,
Minny Jackson, an outspoken maid who finds it difficult to get work
after being fired and eventually decides to share her experiences
with Skeeter.
