Dramatic Escape

Murderers. Rapists. Armed robbers. Convicted felons. Con Artistes follows the process of inmates at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in New York, as they attempt to mount a prison production of A FEW GOOD MEN. Tracing the inmates' steps from auditions through their curtain call, we are witness to their journey - both as individuals and as a players ensemble. All of the obstacles involved with putting on a stage production on the outside become all the more difficult behind bars. Hear the inmates' stories and candid retelling of the crimes that landed them in prison. Witness their everyday struggle with what they have done and listen as they contemplate whether redemption is ever achievable either to themselves or to the outside world.
