The 1960s was a time of upheaval and change in USA. The equal rights movement was picking up steam and African-American people all across the country were making a stand for equality and equal voting rights. It is in this politically-charged and volatile situation that The Help, a film based on the bestseller by Kathryn Stockett, is set. Boasting a cast of impressive female actresses, it received very good returns at the US Box Office.
