In 2018's "The Hate U Give," high school student Starr finds her voice as an activist after her friend is shot by a police officer in front of her. "Now, facing pressure from all sides of the community, Starr must find her voice and stand up for what's right," IMDb writes. "It's so gripping to watch — as well as being, in places, just delightfully funny — that you never feel you're being preached to. It picks you up in one place and sets you down in another," wrote Stephanie Zacharek of Time. Our story is a reminder to never be afraid to raise our voice in the name of justice.

After years of criticism from outlets like TV Guide and The Advocate, "Supernatural" finally made Destiel canon … sort of.
