Sing Sing

A narrative film inspired by the real-life Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA) theatre program inside the titular maximum security prison...

Greg Kwedar’s sensitive, joyous Sing Sing does more than simply dramatize the workings of the RTA program, it incorporates participants into the very fabric of the film’s DNA.

...powerful, deeply felt drama takes theatre behind bars.

Domingo and Maclin deliver powerhouse performances.

...suggests that beauty and emotion might result if desperate, damaged men were allowed to find other ways to express themselves, and emphasises the power of art — even bad art — to change lives.

I learned, and rediscovered, a lot about film, theater, and the arts while watching “Sing Sing.” The more you sit with it, the more you admire everything it does and is.
