About this event

You’re invited to screening of Sing Sing, followed by an in-person conversation with John ‘Divine G’ Whitfield, Dario Peña, and The Appeal's Tara Francis Chan, moderated by Josie Duffy Rice (former president + current board chair of The Appeal).

Divine G, imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn’t commit, finds purpose by acting in a theatre group alongside other incarcerated men, including a wary newcomer in this stirring true story of resilience, humanity and the transformative power of art, starring an unforgettable ensemble cast of formerly incarcerated actors.

Movie run time: 1 hour 47 minutes
