Based on the best-selling novel by Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give tells the story of Starr Carter, who lives in two worlds the poor, black neighborhood where she resides and the mostly white prep school she attends. This uneasy balance is shattered when she witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood friend by a policeman. Facing pressures from all sides, Starr must find her voice and stand up for what's right.

Set against the backdrop of mid-gentrification Oakland, this darkly funny and timely comedy follows Collin (Daveed Diggs), an African-American ex-con with three days left on his probation. Aside from his friendship with trouble-prone best pal Miles (Rafael Casal) threatening his freedom, Collin witnesses a cop (Ethan Embry) shoot an unarmed black man-an incident he can't report as it occurred while he was out after curfew. With Janina Gavankar, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Tisha Campbell-Martin. 95 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles English (SDH), Spanish; audio commentary by Diggs, Casal. Two-disc set.
