Basically, this movie is based through a lifetime event of Starr Carter, a sixteen-year-old who witnessed two tragic deaths and couldn’t let go without making justice. Furthermore, the plot starts where she accompanied her friend Kenya, who she shares a half-brother with. She accompanies her to a spring break party where she met her childhood crush and the one who gave her the first kiss, Khalil Harris. While having interacted for a couple of minutes, a shooting happened and they had to leave the party in order to arrive home safe. Khalil decides to take Starr so he makes sure she arrives home safe. While on their way they continue talking and he decides to stop to talk to her much better and to look into her eyes. During the stop they start reminiscing about their childhood memories and the games they used to play such as Harry Potter with Natasha, Starr’s best friend. While Khalil drives, he explains rapper Tupac Shakur’s idea that ‘Thug Life’ stands for ‘The Hate U Give Little Infants F—- Everybody’. Since that moment Starr tends to believe in that powerful acronym. After that, they head home and at that instant a police car stops them and asks Khalil to lower his music volume but he refuses. For such a refusal, the police officer, One-Fifteen requests for Khalil driver’s license and asks him to get out of the car. Khalil hands him the license and gets out of the car while the officer heads to his police car Khalil decides to get his hair brush to comb his hair then there was a sudden shot. One-Fifteen shot Khalil thinking that instead of grabbing the hair brush he grabbed a gun. He did this because to the whites the color of a Dark skin is always a threat to them. The officer hurriedly gets back and handcuffs Starr and asks where the gun is, but Starr stays speechless and just continues to sob, then One-Fifteen realizes that it was just a hair brush and realizes what he had done. Starr asked him to help Khalil and call an ambulance but the officer just stood there without knowing what to do. Moreover, this is the second incident Starr witnessed and she wants to make justice for Khalil since she couldn’t help Natasha who also got killed. The main characters in ‘The Hate U Give’ are Starr, her dad (Mr. Maverick Carter) Khalil, Ofrah, who is Starr’s lawyer and wants Starr to protest and King Lord. She knew that they will be rebuilt, and she vows to continue fighting for justice for Khalil and all the black people that were killed at the hands of the white police.
