Blindspotting Colonna sonora (2018)

Sinossi

In West Oakland, Collin Hopkins, a Black man who works for the Commander Moving Company as a mover, is a convicted felon on the last three days of his one-year parole. Among the many restrictions contained within his parole are living in a halfway house which has its own additional rules, having curfew, not being allowed outside of Alameda County, and no possession of firearms; contravention of any of these items could extend the length of his parole, or worse, send him back to prison.

Collin, whose felony was largely a matter of unexpected circumstance, wants to do the right thing and lead a straight life. And despite having made it through the first 362 days of his parole, it isn't a guarantee that he will make it to the end clear, let alone make to the end at all due to the environment in which he lives, which includes people, like him, of a lower socioeconomic standing having to adjust to the gentrification happening within the community.

One of the larger threats is his association with Miles Jones, his married best friend since they were kids and his moving partner. Miles, a Caucasian, feels like he has something to prove being white and living in West Oakland, something that Collin inherently doesn't have to prove being Black.

But what could be the biggest threat to Collin is being haunted in witnessing a white police officer shoot a fleeing Black man to death in the back late in the evening of the third to last day of his parole--being shot for no reason by the police, something that Black people like Collin face every day.

Through it all, Collin tries to negotiate his relationship with Val, his girlfriend before his incarceration and the dispatcher at Commander, who is taking more outward steps to improve her life to match that gentrification which may not include associating personally with someone like Collin, especially in light of having seen the aftermath of what sent him to prison.
