In 2012, Amandla Stenberg had her breakout role as the character Rue in the first Hunger Games. Now, she’s started earning lead roles in the movie Everything, Everything and the Fox 2000 adaptation of the novel The Hate U Give. She also has two more projects in the works.

The first is the World War II romance Where Hands Touch and the second is a science-fiction adaptation of The Darkest Minds. She chose to work on these two projects because they both have major political meaning behind them and go hand-in-hand with her activism.
