One of my favourite books last year was The Help by Kathryn Stockett so I was delighted, at least I hope it does it justice, to hear that a film has been made of it.

The book focuses on three women in 1960’s Mississippi from different backgrounds who become unlikely friends and allies. ‘The Help’ is a real eye opener at the appalling racism and discrimination going on at the time. It is a deeply moving yet beautiful book filled with hope, humour, strength and courage as the friends do something controversial and dangerous.

I thought you might like to see a preview of the film due out later this year. ‘ The Help’ can also be found on Facebook
