In 2018's "The Hate U Give," high school student Starr finds her voice as an activist after her friend is shot by a police officer in front of her.
"The Hate U Give," which is based on the 2017 novel of the same name by Angie Thomas, follows Starr after her best friend, Khalil, is fatally shot during a traffic stop.
"Now, facing pressure from all sides of the community, Starr must find her voice and stand up for what's right," IMDb writes.
"It's so gripping to watch — as well as being, in places, just delightfully funny — that you never feel you're being preached to. It picks you up in one place and sets you down in another," wrote Stephanie Zacharek of Time.
The film's director, George Tillman Jr., announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, that "The Hate U Give" was free to stream in June 2020 after the death of George Floyd, a Black man who died after a Minneapolis officer knelt on his neck for nine minutes.
"I hope the film provides a bit of understanding. Our story is a reminder to never be afraid to raise our voice in the name of justice. We must stand up for what we believe. The time for change is now!" Tillman wrote.
