Ithaca College

Recently nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture!

"The Help" will be showing in Emerson Suites on Friday, January 27 starting at 7:00pm.  The movie is based on the #1 New York Times bestseller by Kathryn Stockett.  The Help is an empowering story about very different, extraordinary women in the 1960s South who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project — one that breaks society’s rules and puts them all at risk.    The screening will be followed by a discussion, facilitated by an Ithaca College Faculty member, about underlying themes and connections in the film related to the civil rights movement.  

This event is open to the public.
