The Hate U Give

I Just saw a secret screening of this movie , I didn't know it was going to be this film , so I had no expectations and went in with a clear mind. All I can say is wow, you will be taken on a ride on all different emotions and come out the cinema feeling touched. This movie is not a huge blockbuster and not alot people will know how about it but people should know about it and it's a movie everyone should see!

Racism is real. This movie is the first example I've seen of a movie that provides sensitivity to such a "controversial" subject. People in the theatre were crying and comforting each other during and after the movie. Philando, Trayvon, Sandra, Tamir and others who have died at the hands of an officer, the murders been shown on the news constantly can traumatize a person. This movie became a safe space and a conversation starter. How do you discuss police brutality? How do you discuss injustice? I encourage everyone to watch this movie. It may open your eyes to something you never noticed. Bring tissues.
