"A mercurial and explosive film, Blindspotting nimbly parses conflicts about race, rent, incarceration, and gentrification." - Time Out

"Try and take your electrified eyes off it. It's practically 2018: The Movie." - Guardian

"Racism, gentrification, police brutality, start-up culture, corporate branding, social media, the justic system... Blindspotting is eager to take them all on with style and wit, and it succeeds more often than not." - Globe and Mail

Collin 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, 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.
