The Hate U Give, and Q&A with George Tillman Jr. and Amandla Stenberg
HAMMER | 7:30 p.m., Hammer Museum
Starr Carter is constantly switching between two worlds: the poor, mostly black, neighborhood 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. The Hate U Give is based on the critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller by Angie Thomas and stars Amandla Stenberg as Starr, with Regina Hall, Russell Hornsby, Issa Rae, KJ Apa, Algee Smith, Sabrina Carpenter, Common, and Anthony Mackie. (The Hate U Give. 2018. USA. Directed by George Tillman Jr. 133 min.)
A discussion with director George Tillman Jr. and actor Amandla Stenberg follows the screening.
