Colman Domingo stars as Divine G, a man who is imprisoned at Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison for a crime he did not commit and finds purpose as an actor in Greg Kwedar’s entrancing drama that has received 3 nominations at this year’s Academy Awards®, Sing Sing.  

Inspired by Sing Sing Correctional Facility’s Rehabilitation Through the Arts Program (RTA) and shot at a decommissioned prison, the story takes place as the group prepares a new production and Divine G girds himself for a clemency bid. A talented performer and a leader among the troupe, he is used to deciding what plays to mount only to find his authority challenged when tough new member Divine Eye (real-life RTA alumnus Clarence Maclin in a remarkable debut) suggests that they should stage their first original comedy.  

Domingo delivers an amazing performance as a man putting in the work to redeem himself in a film that reveals the humanity of the incarcerated while celebrating the joy of performance, telling a narrative of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art. RTA alumni, Paul Raci, and Magic Theatre Artistic Director Sean San José costar.
