Post Description

Set in Mississippi during the 1960s, Skeeter (Stone) is a southern 
society girl who returns from college determined to become a writer, but 
turns her friends' lives -- and a Mississippi town -- upside down when 
she decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives 
taking care of prominent southern families. Aibileen (Davis), Skeeter's 
best friend's housekeeper, 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. Along the way, 
unlikely friendships are forged and a new sisterhood emerges, but not 
before everyone in town has a thing or two to say themselves when they 
become unwittingly -- and unwillingly -- caught up in the changing 
times.
