Greg Kwedar's gripping drama about the liberating power of art,
that gives rise to hope even in the darkest places, is based on
true events in one of the oldest prisons in the USA.

After the curtain falls and the applause dies down, John "Divine G" Whitfield returns to his cell in Sing Sing maximum security prison. Here he is serving a long prison sentence for a murder he did not commit. The inmate theater is his only ray of hope in the monotonous and silent prison routine. Alone on stage, John manages to transport himself for a moment to a place far away from the high walls. When the unpredictable Clarence "Divine Eye" Maclin joins the theater program, the group's creative routine is thrown off balance - because the newcomer insists on staging a comedy.
