Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Clarence Maclin, who plays Divine Eye, was actually incarcerated at Sing Sing and participated in the real Rehabilitation Through the Arts program—this is literally his life.
The film's 'trust the process' mantra comes directly from the real RTA group's philosophy; several cast members were performing Shakespeare in prison years before this movie existed, making every scene documentary-level real.
