Join us for this month's staff picked movie: The Hate U Give (PG-13, runtime 2 hours 13 minutes)

Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Now, facing pressure from all sides of the community, Starr must find her voice and stand up for what's right.

Staff Review: The Hate U Give is a powerful, emotional movie about Starr (Amandla Stenberg), a Black teen caught between her mostly white school and her neighborhood after witnessing her friend’s fatal police shooting. Stenberg’s performance is incredible and the film tackles racism, identity, and activism in a real, heartfelt way. It’s intense, thought-provoking, and definitely worth a watch! -Nikki
