A black girl stands on both feet, though in a precarious balance. One foot is in her predominantly black neighbourhood, with the poor, where she calls home. The other is in the school she goes to, which is mostly white, jammed with the rich.She camouflages successfully to fit into both worlds, until a terrifying event smashes her shell and exposes her to a storm where she has to stand for what's right and raise her voice in activism. All starts when she witnesses a feral event where a police squeezes the trigger of his gun, ending the life of her unarmed childhood best friend.All this action, shocking events and a painful reminder of how costly racism is, has been masterfully woven in the racial drama The Hate U Give, now showing in cinemas.It is based on a novel by Angie Thomas, one she wrote after being shaken by the 2009 police shooting of Oscar Grant. The short story that started as her college project would later be published as a full novel in 2017, and it debuted at number one on The New York Times young adult best-seller list, where it topped for 50 weeks in a row.Variety has labelled the movie as a racial drama so honest every American should see.
