"The Hate U Give" follows Starr Carter, a 16-year-old girl who witnesses the police shooting of her best friend, Khalil. As the only witness, Starr faces immense pressure as she grapples with her identity and where she fits in both her predominantly Black neighborhood and her mostly white private school. The incident sparks a national debate about race, justice, and activism, forcing Starr to confront her own beliefs and the systemic racism around her. Through her journey, she finds her voice and courage to stand up for what is right, challenging the oppressive systems that seek to silence her and her community.
