Sing Sing
Join us at M+ Cinema for a screening of ‘Sing Sing’, an Academy Award-nominated film on the transformative power of the arts at Sing Sing Correctional Facility.
At Sing Sing Correctional Facility, inmate Divine G (Colman Domingo) is a long-time participant of a theatre group that is part of the prison’s Rehabilitation Through the Arts programme. G is respected by his fellow inmates as a bona fide actor and playwright but is haunted by the process of his parole hearing. As the group prepares for their next stage production, Clarence ‘Divine Eye’ Maclin, playing a fictionalised version of himself, arrives as a newcomer, ruffling feathers as an outsider with a confrontational attitude. Sing Sing is a testament to the redemptive power of the arts. During the making of the film, the filmmakers adopted a production model that gave equal wages for every cast and crew member, from production assistants to lead actors, ensuring fairness for all.
