#1 The Hate U Give (2018)
This film tells the story of a black teenage girl named Starr Carter who lives in a white community. Since she was a child, her father had given the impression that anything black people did would always be suspected by the white police. Because of her father's worries, Starr was sent to a predominantly white school so she could get along and not be looked down upon. The life she was desperately guarding suddenly had to be shattered when Starr became the only witness in the tragedy of the shooting of her best friend, Khalil, by a police officer. Khalil's death immediately made headlines, which also mentioned that Khalil was a thug, drug dealer and gang member. This triggered large-scale demonstrations. Everyone wants to know the chronology of Khalil's murder. As the only person who knows what happened, Starr is faced with two choices. Tell or silence the real story.
#2 The Farewell (2019)
The Farewell tells the story of Billi who lies to his grandmother in a structured, systematic, and massive way. This act of lying was requested by his parents because the medical record said Billi's grandmother had cancer. Although Billi initially rebelled, in the end he changed his mind because he realized that the lie was part of a habit or custom, not a will. In China, lying to parents about their health condition is common and natural. What happened next was an endless series of lies. Billi wasn't sure he could lie all the time, because Billi was someone who grew up in New York, who had western points of view. This film is about what is best: the lie or the truth.
#3 Minari (2020)
The film is about a Korean family who moved to Arkansas and started farming in the 1980s.

They move in the hope of living in better conditions. As the family tries to adapt to their new home, intrigues and family dynamics start to take place.
