Film night 17.01: “Blindspotting”

Set in Oakland, California, a story of two friends who work as movers and are forced to watch their old neighborhood become a trendy spot in the rapidly gentrifying Bay Area. 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.

A “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.”

Film starts at 7.30pm. Bring popcorn and friends!

This is the first in a new fortnightly film night at BASE.
