Domestic labor

The word 'domestic labor' remind me and comes up the book and movie 'The Help(2011)'.
Personally, I do not have housekeeper or typical domestic labor when I was young; however, I understand how their life were tough and hard to survived by read and watched the movie.
What we saw was a movie about the realities and policies of racism. Black people could hardly walk the streets without the possibility of running into dander. The ending shot of Viola Davis' black, and the scene with Octavia Spencer fanning an old lady, you can get a real sense of their stories. I liked it because it was clear and vivid. So we might think about the domestic labor environment that not only past but also recent.
