The 2011 film “The Help” starring Octavia Spencer is one of the most popular movies on Netflix at the moment.The film centers on Black servants and their white employers, and appears to be a resource for folks to learn about Black history amid protests over race relations in America
Washington Post global opinions editor Karen Attiah noted:
Please don’t watch “The Help” to understand this moment we are in. Or “The Green Book”, or “Crash”. The three movies I would recommend this weekend as a primer to race issues and racism:
“I Am Not Your Negro” -Raoul Peck
“13th” by@ava
“Get Out” by @JordanPeele
