When tragic events push her into the glare of publicity, she really finds out who her friends are, and experiences first-hand the bitter realities of divided Trump-era America.

Amandla Stenberg ( The Darkest Minds) plays the 16-year-old leading a double life before the incident, at home in her run-down, occasionally dangerous black community, yet having to tone down her "ghetto" identity at the posh white school she attends at the behest of her socially ambitious mum. When an African-American teenage girl is witness to a police shooting, the subsequent turmoil proves traumatising yet empowering in this adaptation of Angie Thomas's Young Adult bestseller.
