AGORA presents: Rehabilitation Through the Arts' "Dramatic Escape"
"Dramatic Escape" is the remarkable documentary by Goldcrest Films that transports viewers into the lives of a group of maximum security prisoners preparing to stage a production of A Few Good Men as part of the Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA) program at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining, NY. It provides an intimate look at life behind bars as it traces the steps from auditions through curtain call. Along the way, the men reveal their personal stories, their everyday struggles, and contemplate whether redemption is possible. Click here to watch the trailer.
