Lionsgate has bought global distribution rights to Sundance Film Festival opening night feature Blindspotting which deals with race relations in Oakland, California.

Daveed Diggs stars as a man on the last days of his parole. He moves boxes out of houses with his friend (Rafael Casal) and navigates a series of tense situations in their neighborhood involving race and violence.

Diggs and Casal co-wrote the script after working on it for a decade, while first-time feature director Carlos Lopez Estrada helms. The film will receive a wide release from Lionsgate’s Codeblack Films and Summit Entertainment label later this year. The likes of CBS Films, Neon, The Orchard and MoviePass were all reportedly circling the project.
