Divine G, imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn’t commit, finds purpose in performing in a theater troupe alongside other incarcerated men in this story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art. At the beginning of the film, the actors audition for different roles in the play. These are actual audition tapes used for casting the film. The group is criticized for not doing comedy as their previous play was A Midsummer Night’s Dream which is a comedy. Starring on Late Night with Seth Meyers: Anna Faris/Colman Domingo/Jose Medeles (2024). Blades composed by Bryce Dessner. Score: 8.7 Overall, a powerful film that shows how inmates are still human despite their mistakes as the film uses alumni from Sing Sing’s RTA program to deliver this strong message about redemption, all led by a great performance by Colman Domingo.
