The Help (2011) - "Eat... My... $#!&"
We're assessing a somewhat controversial film with a central theme around racism. It is clear that this film was created to entertain and not inform. This film generated a lot of discussion that we did not record and led each of us to do more research on racism in America in the 1960s
