"Sing Sing," a movie based on a theater program that started at the correctional facility back in the 90s, is gaining national attention.

It was released nationwide this month and is based on Rehabilitation Through the Arts theater program that started at the maximum security facility in 1996.

The movie touches on the transformative and life-changing power of the arts program.

It stars actors like Colman Domingo and features former RTA participants.

The film itself is gaining popularity in Hollywood and across the nation.

Several articles have been written about the beauty and emotional impact of the film.

Katherine Vockins, the founder of the program, reacted to all of the buzz.

"I never expected honestly that it would raise awareness in the public, [public relations] area like it has. I mean the film has been everywhere and it was in PEOPLE magazine last week. I mean what more could you ask for," Vockins said. "As long as it drives people into theaters to learn about the humanity behind the walls, that's what [is] important."
