Finding a voice across worlds
From Rue to Starr Carter and the forest of Wildwood.
Growing into new stories
Amandla Stenberg is an American actor whose early screen work includes Colombiana (2011) and the role of Rue in The Hunger Games (2012). Rue’s brief alliance with Katniss made the young performer familiar to audiences of the film’s dystopian world.
In The Hate U Give (2018), Stenberg plays Starr Carter, a teenager navigating her neighbourhood and a different social world at school. After witnessing the fatal shooting of her childhood friend by a police officer, Starr must decide how to speak about what happened. The performance gives the public conflict a close personal point of view.
The actor’s work has continued across genres, including the ensemble horror comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022) and voice work as Niamh in the animated Wildwood (2026). Each format asks for a different relationship with an ensemble, whether through on-screen tension or a voice within a crafted world.
