Out of sight, out of mind is how most Americans probably think about incarcerated individuals—until an acquaintance or a loved one lands in a correctional facility, after plotting a crime or perhaps just acting impulsively in a heated moment. It’s easy, and comfortable, to pass judgment. But Greg Kwedar’s true-to-life prison drama Sing Sing asks more of us: If we believe in our own capacity for growth and change, how can we not extend that good faith to other individuals who have made mistakes? [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Colman Domingo stars as John “Divine G” Whitfield, serving time at the infamous New York prison Sing Sing for a crime he didn’t commit, though he’s hopeful that an upcoming clemency hearing might clear his name.
