Sing Sing. 2024. USA. Directed by Greg Kwedar. Screenplay by Kwedar, Clint Bentley. With Colman Domingo, Clarence “Divine Eye” Maclin, Sean San Jose. DCP courtesy A24. 107 min.

“Colman Domingo dazzles as Divine G, a man who is incarcerated who finds purpose as an actor in Greg Kwedar’s entrancing drama. Inspired by Sing Sing Correctional Facility’s Rehabilitation Through the Arts Program 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 an indelible debut) suggests they put on a comedy. Domingo delivers a soul-baring 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” (San Francisco Film Festival program notes).

This film accompanies The Contenders 2024.
