Based on a true story, ‘Sing Sing’ centers the Rehabilitation Through the
Arts program at Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison in upstate New York. Incarcerated
for a crime he did not commit, Divine G (played by Colman Domingo) finds purpose
through participation in the RTA theatre program as they attempt to stage an
original comedic production.
Vocalo’s resident film critic Reggie “The Reel Critic” Ponder sat down with ‘Sing
Sing’ actors Clarence “Divine Eye” Maclin, Paul Raci and Sean Dino Johnson to
discuss filming inside the prison, the real-life arts program on which the movie is
based and the importance of investing in the rehabilitation of incarcerated men and
women.
‘Sing Sing’ is scheduled for limited U.S. theatrical release on July 12 and more
widespread release Aug. 2. Follow Reggie “The Reel Critic” Ponder on X and Instagram
