Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, Angie Thomas' searing
debut about an ordinary girl in extraordinary circumstances addresses
issues of racism and police violence with intelligence, heart, and
unflinching honesty. Soon to be a major motion picture from Fox
2000/Temple Hill Productions. Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves
between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy
suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these
worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her
childhood best friend, Khalil, at the hands of a police officer. Khalil
was unarmed. Soon afterward, his death is a national headline.
Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger.
Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil's name. Some cops and the
local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone
wants to know is: What really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr. But what Starr does - or does not - say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life. (Quelle)
