Blindspotting

Set against the backdrop of mid-gentrification Oakland, this darkly funny and timely comedy follows Collin (Daveed Diggs), an African-American ex-con with three days left on his probation. Aside from his friendship with trouble-prone best pal Miles (Rafael Casal) threatening his freedom, Collin witnesses a cop (Ethan Embry) shoot an unarmed black man--an incident he can’t report as it occurred while he was out after curfew. With Janina Gavankar, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Tisha Campbell-Martin. 95 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH), Spanish; audio commentary by Diggs, Casal.
