"Lee Daniels' The Butler" not only tells the story of a butler who served eight U.S. presidents, it also tells the story of America's civil rights movement. The film features one of the most hated and controversial words in the English language. Anderson spoke with the film’s stars, Oprah Winfrey and Forest Whitaker, about the use of the "n” word, in the movie and in American culture.
