Director: George Tillman Jr. Cast: Amandla Stenberg, Regina Hall, Russell Hornsby, Anthony Mackie, Common. 133 min. Rated R. Drama/Crime.
A rare film that forces you to become an African-American teenager in America. The "talk" your dad gives you on how to handle bogus police arrests, the dual life you lead to masquerade among white Americans, the blind eye you turn away from the blatant racism disguised as political correctness, every single day, just to survive "the democracy". As such, this movie becomes very hard to watch at times, because the empathy hurts. And when the story climax becomes the actual cinematic transliteration of Tupac's words (The Hate U Gave Little Infants F*cks Everybody - THUG LIFE), you'd rather stop watching.
