Sing Sing…The story of the Rehabilitation in Arts program is about one of the theatre group founders and the inmates who continue to transform their lives through theatre, writing, dance, visual arts, and other creative means while behind bars.
Released this year, the film has an unusual business model...everyone in the movie receives the same salary, and everyone from the production staff to the star shares in the profits… 95 percent of the cast is formerly incarcerated and went through the RTA program.
