Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon, "The Help" starts 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 1960's, 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 linds 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.
