A new featurette about “The Help” hit the web recently, giving a more in-depth look at the story and the characters. The always-fierce Viola Davis (one of our favorite black and married celebs) gives a commanding performance as Aibileen, the southern maid with the courage to tell her own story in spite of the  volatile racial climate.

Are you planning to check this out when it hits theaters August 12? Let us know in the comments.
