Academy Award Nominated for Best Actor (Colman Domingo) and Best Adapted Screenplay
Divine G (Colman Domingo), imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn’t commit, finds purpose by acting in a theatre group with other incarcerated men. When a wary outsider joins the group, the men decide to stage their first original comedy, in this stirring true story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art, starring an unforgettable ensemble cast of formerly incarcerated actors.
“Brimming with compassion and punctuated by humour, this is a moving look at prison and prisoners. It’s both infuriating and inspirational to see so much beauty in such a harsh environment.” – Empire Magazine
“Has as a case for best film of the year. It’s poignant and human. Colman Domingo delivers a career-best performance, but the stunning ensemble acting by the cast of formally incarcerated men, led by Clarence Maclin, truly makes the film transformative.” – CinemaDebate
