A24’s ‘Sing Sing’ With Colman Domingo To Screen At New York Correctional Facility Where Film Is Set
A24 will hold a special screening Sing Sing, the Greg Kwedar film starring Colman Domingo at the correctional facility in Ossining, New York.
Sing Sing is based on the true story of John “Divine G” Whitfield (Domingo), who’s imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit but finds purpose behind bars by acting in a theater group alongside other incarcerated men including wary newcomer, Clarence “Divine Eye” Maclin (played by himself). “It has been the honor of a lifetime to help tell the story of the men inside the RTA program at Sing Sing, and since we began on this project over eight years ago we’ve held onto the dream to bring the film back inside to the very place where so many of our alumni cast discovered the transformative power of the arts. We hope the incarcerated men out in that audience find inspiration, encouragement, and walk away with a greater imagination of what’s possible.
