Both Sides of the Bars - "Sing Sing" A Film About Rehabilitation Through the Arts
Show Details
The JANUARY, 2024 episode is entitled “"Sing Sing" — A Film About Rehabilitation Through the Arts."
SUMMARY:
Universally acclaimed by critics -- and nominated for numerous awards -- last year's film "Sing Sing" is based on the "rehabilitation through the arts" program at New York State's maximum security prison. The film focuses on a group of incarcerated men who create theatrical stage shows through the program — and it stars both professional actors as well as many formerly incarcerated men who were alumni of that program.
Two of those men — Jon-Adrian "JJ" Velazquez and Clarence "Divine Eye" Maclin — are the guests of this episode in which they discuss the movie ... and also the unique prison program in which they were a part.
