Before I saw the trailer recommended to me on YouTube, I knew nothing about the film Sing Sing or the program it depicts.
Immediately after viewing it, I wanted to know more.
Sing Sing‘s Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA) program, highlighted in the film, uses creative arts such as theatre, dance, visual arts, music, and creative writing to foster personal growth, self-discipline, and collaboration among inmates. It creates a positive environment for self-expression and notably reduces recidivism rates.
I’m looking forward to watching this one and seeing how the triumph of the human spirit can work wonders, even in the darkest places.
