Sing Sing

Divine G (Colman Domingo, in a BAFTA and Golden Globe-nominated performance), imprisoned at the notorious Sing Sing facility for a crime he didn't commit, finds purpose by acting in a theatre group alongside other incarcerated men, including a wary newcomer (Clarence Maclin, in a BAFTA-nominated performance). SING SING is a stirring true story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art, starring an unforgettable ensemble cast of formerly incarcerated actors.

"'Sing Sing' is a beautiful, accomplished, and human film. Colman Domingo is glorious; Clarence Maclin, amazing. A precious piece of empathy, kindness, and understanding what it means to be free." (The Curb)

"Colman Domingo is at the peak of his considerable powers in Greg Kwedar’s inspirational, fact-based prison drama Sing Sing." (Observer UK)

"Brimming with compassion and punctuated by humour, this is a moving look at prison and prisoners. It’s both infuriating and inspirational to see so much beauty in such a harsh environment." (Empire Magazine)

"While prisons are often seen as a place of punishment, Sing Sing is about the living, breathing work of rehabilitation. You can see it in the faces of the actors on opening night and in the careful choice of language..." (CBC News)
