Description: The Help (2011) – Full Movie in English (720p and 480p)
In 1963, Aibileen Clark works as an African-American maid in Jackson, Mississippi, caring for Mae Mobley, the neglected daughter of socialite Elizabeth Leefolt. Aibileen’s close friend, Minny Jackson, is another maid employed by Mrs. Walters, whose daughter, Hilly Holbrook, leads the town’s women’s social circle and heads the Junior League.
Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan, a recent Ole Miss graduate and aspiring writer, feels uneasy about the racist treatment of the maids in her community. Skeeter, who lives with her parents on their cotton plantation, discovers that her mother fired Constantine, the maid who raised her. Determined to shed light on the maids’ experiences, Skeeter decides to write a book based on interviews with African-American maids working for white families.
Minny loses her job after using the guest bathroom during a storm, and Hilly spreads lies that make it difficult for her to find work. However, Minny is hired by Celia Foote, a housewife shunned by the socialites. Celia treats Minny with kindness, and the two form a bond, though Celia hides Minny’s employment from her husband, Johnny, who is Hilly’s former beau. Celia confides in Minny about her miscarriages, which Johnny remains unaware of.
Skeeter approaches Aibileen, who agrees to share her story, and Minny later joins as well. Skeeter’s editor, Elaine Stein, insists that two maids’ accounts are insufficient, but fear discourages others from participating. Aibileen opens up about the loss of her son and believes the book will help her heal.
The arrest of Yule May, another maid, after she pawns a lost ring to support her sons, sparks outrage. This incident, combined with the assassination of Medgar Evers, encourages more maids to step forward and share their stories with Skeeter.
The Help (2011) is a powerful exploration of race, friendship, and courage during a turbulent period in American history.
