SANTA MONICA, CA (October 9, 2018) – Witness the film that had everyone buzzing at the 2018 SXSW and Sundance Film Festivals when Blindspotting arrives on Digital November 6 and on Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital), DVD, and On Demand November 20 from Summit Entertainment, a Lionsgate company. An incredibly relevant film for the current climate that has received phenomenal reactions and reviews, Blindspotting provides a raw glimpse into three days in the life of a parolee and the struggles of race, class, and police brutality in Oakland, California. The film stars Daveed Diggs (Wonder, Ferdinand, TV’s “Black-ish,” Broadway’s Hamilton), Rafael Casal (TV’s “HBO’s Def Poetry Jam”), Janina Gavankar (TV’s “The League,” “True Blood,” “The L Word,” “Sleepy Hollow”), and Jasmine Cephas Jones (Monsters and Men, Broadway’s Hamilton).

Collin (Diggs), a parolee facing his final three days of probation, needs to stay clear of trouble. Miles, (Casal), Collin’s hot-tempered best friend, can’t stay out of it. When Collin witnesses a police shooting, the two men’s friendship is tested, sending Collin and Miles on a collision course with each other in this bold and thought-provoking film that bursts with energy, style, and humor.

Take home Blindspotting and dive deep into the making of this uniquely personal film with an abundance of special features including two making-of featurettes, deleted scenes, and two feature-length commentaries.
