In honor of film festival season getting into full swing, I present to you my favorite film of the African American Film Festival of 2018, Blindspotting. This is a story of friendship, gentrification, and the criminal justice system all rolled into one sometimes hilarious sometimes heart-wrenching ode to rap. Collin (Daveed Diggs) must make it through his final three days of probation for a chance at a new beginning in his Oakland, California neighborhood. His bond with his volatile best friend Miles (Rafael Casal) soon gets tested when Collin is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Things go from bad to worse as we see Collin trying to keep away from the temptations around him that could drag him back to prison for years. When he and Miles attend a yuppie party in the middle of their changing neighborhood, the friends face a make-or-break moment. The thing to watch is the camaraderie of Collin and Miles played by Diggs and Rafael Casal who co-wrote and produced the film (Hamilton money at work). It is the lynch pin of the entire film and the main source of the hilarity as well as the heart wrench
