FilmCrew (Crewkerne Community Cinema)’s April screening, is this inspiring and thought provoking prison-set drama – ‘Sing Sing’.
Based on the real-life Rehabilitation Through the Arts program at Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison, the film centres on a group of incarcerated men involved in the creation of theatrical stage shows through the program. It stars professional actors Colman Domingo (an Oscar nominated performance), Sean San José and Paul Raci, alongside many real-life formerly incarcerated men who were themselves alumni of the program during their incarceration.
