TV Series Title： The help
TV synopsis:In the 1960s in Mississippi, black maid Abrien (Viola Davis) diligently cares for her mistress’s daughter, who is suffering from postpartum depression and is only interested in having fun with her girlfriends. Skeeter (Emma Stone), a University of Mississippi graduate, is in charge of the housewife’s mailbox at the newspaper and thus begins the black maids’ existence. Among them, Hilly (Bryce Dallas Howard) is undoubtedly the antagonist, with her haughty attitude, prejudice against the black maid, Minnie (Octavia Spencer), and her forceful assertion that black maids can’t share the her master, and insists that black maids not share their toilets. Eventually, overwhelmed by the insult, Minnie leaves in anger and returns the favor by falsely apologizing for disgracing her. Skeeter begins interviewing Abilene and Minnie, hoping to learn about the survival of black maids and to accumulate material for his new book. Meanwhile, the affirmative action movement led by Martin Luther King, Jr. is in full swing, and Skeeter’s state of Mississippi is at the forefront of the struggle, as segregation begins due to the bloodshed of blacks being shot and killed, and a battle for color is inevitable ……
