Sing Sing
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Greg Kwedar
2023 / 107min / DCP
Based on Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison’s real-life Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA) program, Kwedar’s prison drama, from a script co-written with Bentley, features professional actors Colman Domingo, Paul Raci, and Sean San José alongside actual alumni of the program as a troupe of cell block impresarios, preparing to put on a show at the same time as one of their number, Divine G (Colman), imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit, struggles to clear his name and win back his freedom. “A heartening celebration of the way that human creativity, if put to intelligent and enlightened use, can transform even the most seemingly hopeless lives.” —Sight & Sound
“At its core, Sing Sing is a story about finding joy and community in one of the most punishing environments in the world. I can feel the spirit of our work on this film in Train Dreams as well. In the face of unfathomable grief, we witness people come into Robert Grainier’s life to help lift him on his feet and step into a new day. Both films are exercises in empathy. What happens when we look each other in the eyes, and hear our stories? A world of possibility reveals itself. We’re so happy to bring our films to the Metrograph!” —Greg Kwedar
