Divine G, imprisoned in Sing Sing for a crime he didn’t commit, finds meaning by performing in a theater group alongside other incarcerated men in this story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art. At the beginning of the year, the film stars actors auditioning for various parts in the play. These are the actual audition tapes used to cast the film. The group is criticized for not doing comedy, but their previous play was A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which is a comedy. He appears in Late Night with Seth Meyers: Anna Faris/ Colman Domingo/Jose Medeles (2024). Blades was composed by Bryce Dessner. Rating: 8.7 Overall, it’s a powerful film that shows how prisoners are still human despite their flaws, as the film uses graduates from the RTA Sing Sing program to deliver this powerful message of redemption, all led by a great performance from Colman Domingo.
