Description
Divine G is unjustly imprisoned in the notorious Sing Sing prison in New York, convicted of a crime he didn’t commit. He rediscovers meaning in life by joining the prison’s theater group, where inmates work on classic plays and are encouraged to confront their emotions.
The film Sing Sing, based on a true story, features actor Colman Domingo, who was nominated for an Oscar earlier this year for his role in Rustin, alongside a cast made up primarily of former inmates. These individuals participated in theater programs during their time in prison. The film, which won the Audience Award at the American festival SXSW, was partially shot in the actual Sing Sing prison. This makes it an inspiring and authentic story about the transformative power of art.
