'Sing Sing' actor Colman Domingo on a maximum security prison’s life-changing program
Oscar-nominated actor Colman Domingo speaks about his new movie "Sing Sing" and the program and the Rehabilitation Through Arts prison program that has changed lives and reduced recidivism.
Oscar-nominated actor Colman Domingo has turned a personal belief into a lifelong mission, he recently shared, and it's become sort of North Star for him.
“Politics doesn’t work. Religion is too eclectic. But art, art just might be the parachute that saves us all," Domingo said on June 26 at the Brooklyn premiere of "Sing Sing," his upcoming movie.
Domingo was echoing the words of Rhodessa Jones, who works with incarcerated women in the Bay Area, helping them workshop personal stories into plays, which they can later perform.
This, similarly, is the story of “Sing Sing,” which will be released in theaters on July 12.
Domingo plays Divine G, a man who is incarcerated at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, a maximum security prison located on the east bank of the Hudson River, roughly 30 miles north of New York City.
