CoIIin (Daveed Diggs) must make it through his final three days of probation for a chance at a new beginning. He and his troublemaking childhood best friend, Miles (Rafael CasaI), work as movers, and when Collin witnesses a poIice shooting, the two men’s friendship is tested as they grappIe with identity and their changed realities in the rapidIy-gentrifying neighbourhood they grew up in.
Longtime friends and coIIaborators, Daveed Diggs and Rafael CasaI co-wrote and star in this timeIy and wiIdly entertaining story about friendship and the intersection of race and cIass set against the backdrop of OakIand. Bursting with energy, styIe, and humour, and infused with the spirit of rap, hip hop, and spoken word, Blindspotting, boIdIy directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada in his feature fiIm debut, is a provocative hometown Iove Ietter that glistens with humanity. |
