Collin (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 Casal), work as movers, and when Collin witnesses a police shooting, the two men’s friendship is tested as they grapple with identity and their changed realities in the rapidly-gentrifying neighborhood they grew up in.
Longtime friends and collaborators, Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal co-wrote and star in this timely and wildly entertaining story about friendship and the intersection of race and class set against the backdrop of Oakland. Bursting with energy, style, and humor, and infused with the spirit of rap, hip hop, and spoken word, Blindspotting, boldly directed by Carlos López Estrada in his feature film debut, is a provocative hometown love letter that glistens with humanity.
A Summit Entertainment presentation, in association with Codeblack Films and Snoot Entertainment.

"Who are we forgetting? What was his name? All I remember is how he was slain" *This line hit me so hard* They were both so good

[@g0thgfwastaken]

"Quit aiming at my head I'm trying to focus" That hit hard.

[@realsammcgarvey]

“How perfect does a black boy have to be before we mourn him?” Damn.

[@Koribaby1]

My babies! Please tell them. "How prefect does a Black boy have to be before we mourn him?" "A story never told becomes a story dead and gone." Wow.

[@VinoVenitas]

"We dont wonder why he needed it .." That line right there was the one that really got to me. This was an amazing piece and the way you guys performed it was nothing short of amazing. STunning work. Well done

[@lilamontoya5609]

so glad Rafael Casal continues his art

[@thehopeofeden597]

I've been a fan of their writing, especially Rafael's for years on end. I'm glad to see it's poignancy and ingenuity haven't been lost for even a second. Incredibly excited for this movie.

[@aga34320]

I don't understand how can anyone unlike this

[@nessa-marks]

Aga Łabędź Just when it doesn’t fit their narrative.

[@nessa-marks]

Hey, Daveed’s verse is now on the EP. Something in the Water.

[@jakeram4439]

I would do anything for these two to get oscar nods for either acting or writing for Blindspotting. I've seen a total of 58 movies from 2018 and Blindspotting is by far my favorite. Possibly one of my favorite movies of all time. People like these two remind me what it means to be an artist and how impactful 2 voices can be. Two of my idols.

[@lenaramonova145]

I keep watching this! It’s so powerful !

[@user-fk6cs7qv6m]

The movie is amazing.

[@scottbentley4564]

Wow!! Love the allusion to Gertrude Stein.

[@jamaziafranklin4913]

For real tho is it bad that I listened to this more than once and I cry harder each time "Freddy, Alton, Oscar, Walter, Eric and Stephon, Velando, Sam, Temear, Terrance, Michal, Sandra, Sean." I don't even know them but now I'm sad their gone this is true it seems like a black kid does have to be perfect to be remembered, and now I feel bad because I just rhymed with this that was not intentional but still tho. Am I the only who feel bad in the community we live in today.

[@jamaziafranklin4913]

Dang just looked back I missed some names.

[@lennycarl0099]

Awesome....this was a terrific movie

[@Koribaby1]

Here's me, months later, listening to this again, EXTRAORDINARILY happy that Daveed's "something in the water" verse here made its way onto the Blindspotting EP Part 1. "Something in the Water" is my favorite track off the EP. It's so heavy. This is beautiful and heart-wrenching.

[@nellebolton7910]

"...a story never told becomes a story dead and gone" wow

[@Fo.Gabriel]

how talented, how unique and how pure they are! it's inspiring... i don't even know what to say but i've just decided that i should make sure to be here congratulating and praising these two for the work they've put on, from the movie to this to the EP it's just that.. we need to value art and artists such as these guys, they are rare and i hope they always be there to care and dare to say what's fair. much love from Egypt

[@PVLocalFirst]

So amazingly powerful!

[@Aleakwe]

👑👑 no words from me. You said everyting. 😔

[@chrisbarbee8650]

POWERFUL AND ENLIGHTENED!

[@g.hunter9509]

I hate that I'm so late in learning about these two. They both make me laugh, smile, think and cry through their artistic expressions that reveal oppression, depression, and regression of this modern society. I am feverishly reading, listening and viewing everything they are a part of.

[@mindofamango3903]

This had me drowning in fucking tears, that was so inspiring omg, i always feel like im a good artist but this just made me feel like im shit but made me proud to be in the hood almost that was dope asl

[@mntomovi]

how is this not no.1 on trending! POETRY LIVES!

[@codybennett244]

Make this movie mandatory to graduate high school. It's not about whether you agree or not. It's about seeing all the different views of the people who really live this shit before forming your opinion.

[@mbsanocki88]

Damn that was some real shit.. these guys are awesome..

[@Black_pearl_adrift]

Can I just SAY Rafael has serious dilf vibes going on? The glasses are just doing it for me

[@envy5454]

How does this video only have 22k views?

[@NietSUPTG]

Ahmed Aubrey, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd.

[@MistressPandoraX]

[@merandaellis3050]

Please do not forget Trayvon!

[@Nicholasjordanbergmann]

check out my red carpet interview with these two!

[@lisadees71]

WATCH THE TRAILER! It took a rewind a few times but I got it all. Powerful but why sooo fast? I almost missed this & the trailer with the noise of political roasts, sham trade hand shakes & fluff pieces of porn stars distractions. Glad I clicked the link.

[@kazeperiwinkle]

i couldn’t stop thinking about this after everything that’s happening right now with george floyd

[@samanthap9161]

And people act like this just started happening in 2020

[@ignacioalvarez9471]
