'The Help' star Bryce Dallas Howard has some suggestions for anti-racist films and television you could watch besides 'The Help.'
in the U.S. last Thursday, Howard posted on social media with a list of other film and television projects she advised audiences engage with instead.
"I've heard that #TheHelp is the most viewed film on @netflix right now! I’m so grateful for the exquisite friendships that came from that film — our bond is something I treasure deeply and will last a lifetime," she wrote. "This being said,is a fictional story told through the perspective of a white character and was created by predominantly white storytellers. We can all go further.", a racist white Southern socialite living in Jackson, Miss., in the 1960s.
Howard continued, "Stories are a gateway to radical empathy and the greatest ones are catalysts for action. If you are seeking ways to learn about the Civil Rights Movement, lynchings, segregation, Jim Crow, and all the ways in which those have an impact on us today, here are a handful of powerful, essential, masterful films and shows that center Black lives, stories, creators, and/or performers.
