Based on the real-life arts rehabilitation programme founded at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, Greg Kwedar’s film follows a troupe of incarcerated actors who work on plays as part of a theatre workshop at the prison.
Every six months, the men gather, often looking to wrongly imprisoned Divine G, who has found purpose ibn acting, to help decide their next play. When he recruits a wary newcomer, he gets more than he bargained for.
The group’s dynamic begins to shift as the men collectively unpack the pain of their experience while undergoing the joy and escape of creativity.
Director(s) Greg Kwedar / Featuring Colman Domingo, Clarence Maclin, Sean San Jose / USA / English / 105 minutes / Rating: 14A
Content Advisory: Themes of suicide, mature themes, violence, coarse language
98% on Rotten Tomatoes
“Brimming with compassion and punctuated by humour, this is a moving look at prison and prisoners. It’s both infuriating and inspirational to see so much beauty in such a harsh environment.” - Helen O’Hara, Empire Magazine
“In a story about art’s transformative potential, it’s the wondrous slow bloom of their bond that most distils Sing Sing’s poignant power.” - Isaac Feldberg, Little White Lies
