Originally premiering at TIFF in 2023, Greg Kwedar’s portrait of the titular maximum security prison and the Rehabilitation Through the Arts program that was instituted within its walls is now coming to theaters in wide release. The story follows Divine G, imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn’t commit, who finds purpose by acting in a theatre group alongside other incarcerated men in this story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art. In association with A24 the film stars Colman Domingo, Paul Raci, and many formally incarcerated participants in the RTA program including Clarence Maclin, Sean San Jose, and Sean Dino Johnson.
