Join the Justice Forum at the Heyman Center for Humanities for a screening of the film Sing Sing, followed by a talk-back.

Based on a true story, the 2024 feature film, Sing Sing stars Colman Domingo as Divine G, imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn’t commit, who finds purpose by acting in a theatre group with other incarcerated men (played in the movie by a cast of formerly incarcerated actors). When a wary outsider joins the group, the men decide to stage their first original comedy, leading to a story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art. The film is directed by Greg Kwedar and released by A24.
