In the article, ‘“We Ain 't Doin’ Civil Rights” The Life and Times of a Genre as Told in The Help’, Allison Graham explains the problematic use of TV in movies, the use of TV as a way to create authenticity, the trivialization of stories in The Help, and describes how those three topics affect the audience.
