Divine G, imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn’t commit, finds purpose by acting in a theatre group alongside other incarcerated men in this story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art.
"Sing Sing is one of those films that becomes even more incredible when you learn it's based on true events. Set in the eponymous prison in New York, the movie focuses on a group of prisoners who, while serving their sentences, participate in a program that uses theater and acting as a way to reintegrate them into society and reconnect with themselves. Their leader is "Divine G" (Colman Domingo), a man imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit, who is preparing an appeal for his conviction while the group rehearses a play with new . It’s a poignant film that delves into the painful present of the characters, exploring their remorse but also their desire to rebuild their lives, as they go through the process of becoming human again and acting in the world as they truly are, rather than playing a role. A beautiful film about overwhelming humanity."
