Good Things Present: When It Clicked- From Sing Sing to the Silver Screen

How can art transform a life? For Clarence Maclin, the answer
unfolded during his incarceration at Sing Sing Correctional
Facility. Through a program called Rehabilitation Through the
Arts, he used theater as a way to process trauma onstage and off.
Now starring in the A24 film "Sing Sing", Clarence tells us what
it was like acting out his own story on the big screen. Plus, how
a more compassionate justice system doesn’t just transform the
lives of incarcerated people – it strengthens society when they
return as productive, creative and empowered community members.
