Synopsis (Courtesy of DreamWorks)
Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon, “The Help” stars Emma Stone (“Easy A”) as Skeeter, Academy Award®–nominated Viola Davis (“Doubt”) as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minny—three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed—even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times.
Deeply moving, filled with poignancy, humor and hope, “The Help” is a timeless and universal story about the ability to create change.
The book was amazing, in my opinion, and I can NOT wait to see the movie!

I would love to get involved in something to help get people off the streets in my state. I live near a big, top crime city (Camden NJ) & to hear about how many people are on the streets is sad.

I would love to help starving children in the US, it is so sad for a child to go to bed hungry in any country, but especially bad here.

My cause to start would be a war on crime against women and children. I'm sick and tired of the crimes committed today: murdering and demembering of children and mothers across the nation. I'm angry at men/fathers who feel they can abuse and defile and damage innocent babies and mothers and women knowing our court systems will often give them just slaps on the hand. The laws that prevent law enforcement, judges and prosecutors from bringing real safety and protection from these violent men need to be reformed!!
