The A24 film Sing Sing by Greg Kwedar tells the story of Divine G (Colman Domingo), a Black man who was held at NYPD’s Sing Sing maximum security prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Part of the 2024 Virginia Film Festival at Violet Crown series, the film features a cast of formerly incarcerated actors who bring humanity to their roles. Sing Sing is a story based on the true events surrounding the Rehabilitation Through the Arts organization, through which Divine G finds a sense of belonging in a theater group.
