Following its impressive premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and its release later this year, we have a brand new featurette for The Hate U Give, a new film featuring an amazing cast that includes Amandla Stenberg, Regina Hall, Russell Hornsby, Lamar Johnson, Issa Rae, Algee Smith, Sabrina Carpenter, with Common and Anthony Mackie.
Starr Carter is constantly switching between two worlds: the poor, mostly black, neighbourhood where she lives and the rich, mostly white, prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Now, facing pressures from all sides of the community, Starr must find her voice and stand up for what’s right.
In the new featurette, Amandla explains her role as Starr brilliantly in this and provides a great background on the character.
The Hate U Give arrives in UK cinemas on October 22nd. here’s the new featurette.
