The Coli Isn't Ready: 'The Hate U Give' thread (Inspired by Tupac?)

[The Odum of Ala Igbo]

Film synopsis:

Starr Carter is a 16-year old who lives in two worlds: the poor black neighborhood, Garden Heights, where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. One night, Starr goes to a party in Garden Heights and she meets her childhood best friend, Khalil. When he drives her home after the party, they are stopped by a policeman. Khalil is forced to get out of the car and the police officer shoots him, even though he was unarmed. Soon afterward, his murder becomes a national headline. He’s called a thug, a drug dealer, and a gangbanger. When it comes clear that the police have little interest in investigating it, protests take the streets and Starr’s neighborhood becomes a war zone. They all try to figure out what really happened that night and the only one who can answer that is Starr, who gives many interviews trying to clean Khalil’s name, and what she says could make the policeman go to jail or be absolved.

The cast is meant to lure you in. Listen to the audiobook. The author (if she is the actual author) paints black people in an exasperating light compared to saintly whites who Starr loves

This the type of movie “they’ll” give an Oscar to. Bet you’ll see 4 star reviews all the way around...
