“The Hate U Give,” inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, will star Amandla Stenberg in the lead role of 16-year-old Starr Carter, a young girl from a low-income neighborhood who attends an elite prep school in the suburbs. Starr becomes torn between her two worlds when she is witness to the death of her unarmed friend as result of a police shooting.
