The First Trailer For "The Hate U Give" Is Finally Here And It Looks Incredible

The movie, which is directed by George Tillman Jr., is based on the original coming-of-age novel by Angie Thomas and tells the story of teenager Starr Carter, who witnesses a white police officer shoot and kill her childhood friend, Khalil.

Starr finds herself caught between the two worlds she lives in: a lower-income neighborhood that’s predominantly black and the private, suburban high school she attends with mostly white students.
