Amandla Stenberg in First Trailer for Shooting Drama 'The Hate U Give'

“We live in a complicated world…” “It doesn’t seem that complicated to me.” 20th Century Fox has released the first official trailer for a intense real world drama titled The Hate U Give, adapted from Angie Thomas’ critically acclaimed book of the same name. Amandla Stenberg (from The Hunger Games and Everything Everything) stars as Starr, a young woman who 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. The cast includes Regina Hall, Russell Hornsby, Issa Rae, KJ Apa, Algee Smith, Sabrina Carpenter, Common, and Anthony Mackie. This looks similar to the Sundance films Blindspotting and Monsters and Men, both also about police shooting unarmed black men. But this has a much more serious and inspiring vibe to it, which makes it look very promising. Watch below. ›››
