“I’m going to make you cry,” Colman Domingo promised as he sat down across from his “Sing Sing” director Greg Kwedar for the first conversation in TheWrap’s Visionaries video series. The Oscar-nominated actor from “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” and “Rustin” said his days as a journalism student would come in handy during the hour-long conversation, in which the two men got passionate and emotional as they discussed what led them to their careers and what led them to the indie gem “Sing Sing.” (Spoiler alert: Kwedar did cry, but Domingo cried first.)
The film is a moving and compassionate drama set inside Sing Sing Correctional Facility in New York and focused on a group of inmates in the prison’s real-life Rehabilitation Through the Arts program, in which incarcerated men put on theatrical productions.
