The Hate U Give Interview with KJ Apa, Sabrina Carpenter and More
209Amandla Stenberg leads The Hate U Give as Starr Carter, a teenager living in a predominantly black neighborhood but enrolled in a predominantly white prep school. Starr makes an effort to keep those worlds completely separate, behaving a certain way in each place, but when she witnesses the fatal shooting of a childhood friend at the hands of a white police office, Starr comes to the conclusion that enough is enough; she needs to find and embrace her voice, and stand up for what's right, no matter the effect it has on some of her most valued relationships.
Stenberg commands the screen in The Hate U Give, but she's also backed by a powerful supporting ensemble that includes Riverdale star KJ Apa as Starr's boyfriend Chris, Sabrina Carpenter as one of her closest friends at school, Dominique Fishback as one of her closest friends from Garden Heights, and Lamar Johnson as Starr's half-brother. I got the chance to sit down with the four of them to discuss the palpable cast chemistry in the film, personal passions and hobbies well worth sharing, director George Tillman Jr.'s monitor dance and more. You can check it all out in this video interview.
The Hate U Give hits theaters nationwide on October 19th.
