In a year where actor Colman Domingo was honored for his work in “Rustin,” playing its titular character, he brings viewers another dynamic performance in “Sing Sing.” The film takes place in New York’s Sing Sing Correctional Facility, following a group of inmates looking to stage their own production. Alongside Domingo, the film has a fellow Academy Award nominee in Paul Raci, but also former alums of the program like Sean San José and Clarence "Divine Eye" Maclin. The film’s unique approach of casting formerly incarcerated folks is also paired with the fact that the entire cast was paid the same rate, all in service to the “community-based” approach the film’s production took on. To discuss what went into the making of the film, and his role as “Divine G” in the film, is actor Colman Domingo.

“Sing Sing” is out now in Select Theaters and in Wide Release on August 2.
