Though the film is trending on Netflix, star Bryce Dallas Howard told her fans to show to watch these movie and TV shows instead (via toofab)
Though Howard said she's"grateful for the exquisite friendships" she made on the set, she suggests those who want to further educate themselves on the topic watch other films and TV shows.
"I've heard that 'The Help' is the most viewed film on Netflix right now," Howard began in her caption of a collage of film and TV show posters."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. This being said, 'The Help' is a fictional story told through the perspective of a white character and was created by predominantly white storytellers. We can all go further.
"Stories are a gateway to radical empathy and the greatest ones are catalysts for action,” she continued."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.
The"Jurassic World" star then offered a list of films, television shows and documentaries that are more suitable for the current climate, including"13th,""Eyes on the Prize,"I Am Not Your Negro,"Just Mercy,""Malcom X,""Say Her Name: The Life And Death Of Sandra Bland,""Selma,""Watchmen" and"When They See Us."Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Over the weekend, many Black activists, film journalists and other critics voiced their outrage over the"The Help" -- and its"white savior" storyline -- earning so many views on the streaming service. Like Howard, the critics have been sharing alternatives to"The Help," which was written and directed by Tate Taylor, a white man, and based on a novel by Kathryn Stockett, a white woman.
