More details about Blindspotting and where you can watch

Blindspotting tracks Collin Hoskins (Daveed Diggs), a man on probation trying to stay out of trouble during his final three days of legal supervision in Oakland. He works with his lifelong friend Miles (Rafael Casal), whose reckless behaviour and embrace of gang‑style bravado constantly threaten Collin’s hard‑earned progress. Everything changes when Collin witnesses a white police officer shooting a black man, a traumatic event that haunts him, fuelling nightmares and internal conflict. As Oakland’s neighbourhoods shift through gentrification, both friends face the tolls of race, privilege, loyalty, and identity. With sharp dialogue, gripping performances, and biting social themes, the film blends intense drama and comedy to explore America’s cultural blind spots and the strain on personal bonds.
