Yet again we have a sold out screening. Sorry no more tickets are available. Our November film is "the Help" a compelling and thought-provoking drama that shines a spotlight on the extraordinary strength of ordinary women at The New Royalty Cinema on Sunday 17th November at 14:00.
Set in 1960s Mississippi, "The Help" is a compelling and thought-provoking drama that shines a spotlight on the extraordinary strength of ordinary women during the Civil Rights era. This poignant film, based on Kathryn Stockett’s bestselling novel, delves into the lives of African-American maids who serve white families, providing an emotional and insightful look into the struggles, injustices, and quiet acts of defiance that shaped a generation.
At the heart of "The Help" is the courageous collaboration between Skeeter (played by Emma Stone), an aspiring journalist, and two maids, Aibileen (Viola Davis) and Minny (Octavia Spencer). Together, they form an unlikely alliance to expose the racial inequalities and discrimination faced by the black community, particularly women. Through a series of powerful narratives, the film captures both the heartbreak and hope of the era, while celebrating the resilience of those who fought for change.
Directed by Tate Taylor, "The Help" is both emotionally charged and beautifully crafted, with stellar performances that earned Octavia Spencer an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. The film’s exploration of friendship, courage, and the transformative power of storytelling will resonate with audiences long after the credits roll.
"The Help" is not just a film—it’s a reminder of the strength that lies in unity and the importance of standing up for what is right. Don’t miss this unforgettable journey of empowerment and humanity.
