16 Jan - The film "Sing Sing," starring Colman Domingo, is breaking new ground by becoming the first movie to be released simultaneously in both commercial theatres and prisons across the United States.

The film follows the story of men participating in a prison theatre programme and will be screened in correctional facilities (prisons) throughout 46 American states, including California, New York, and Texas.

This unique distribution approach is made possible through A24's partnership with Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA), the real-life organisation that inspired the film.

The initiative also involves Edovo, a nonprofit organisation that develops educational curricula for incarcerated individuals. Edovo's programmes are accessible via tablets in more than 1,100 correctional facilities nationwide.

Brian Hill, founder and CEO of Edovo, emphasises the project's significance. "Storytelling has an incredible way of sparking hope and building connections, even in the toughest circumstances. With 'Sing Sing', we're giving incarcerated individuals an opportunity to see themselves in a story of resilience and transformation, and to feel inspired to imagine new possibilities for their own lives."

Initially released on 12 July 2024, "Sing Sing" is scheduled for a wider release on 17 January, reaching over 500 theatres and correctional facilities (prisons) across the United States.
