An aspiring writer upends her traditional Southern world when she helps give voice to the African American women who have spent their lives serving wealthy families in The Help, a Friday Evening Film at 7 p.m. January 13, at the Asheboro Public Library, 201 Worth St.
Set in Mississippi during the 1960s, the film follows Skeeter (Emma Stone), a southern society girl returned from college, as she interviews her friends’ housekeepers. Aibileen (Viola Davis) is the first to open up, to the dismay of her friends in the tight-knit black community. Despite Skeeter's life-long friendships hanging in the balance, she and Aibileen continue their collaboration and soon more women come forward to tell their stories –and as it turns out, they have a lot to say.
The movie is free and the public is invited; refreshments will be served. Find our more at www.randolphlibrary.org/asheboromovies.html or call 318-6819.
