Divine G, incarcerated in Sing-Sing for a crime he did not commit, finds purpose in life by performing in a theater group with other inmates in this story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art. At the beginning of the film, the actors try out for different roles in the play. These are real recordings of auditions that were used to select actors for the film. The group has been criticized for not acting in a comedy, although their previous play was A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which is a comedy. Featured on Late Night with Seth Meyers: Anna Faris/Coleman Sunday/Jose Medelez (2024). Blades by Bryce Dessner. Rating: 8.7 Overall, this is a powerful film that shows that inmates are still human despite their mistakes, as the RTA Sing-Sing graduates deliver this powerful message of redemption, all under the direction of the great actor Colman Domingo. . . . .
