Fair-chance hiring cannot end at the onboarding process. We must also create an equitable working environment that prioritizes fair compensation and representation. A24’s recent movie, Sing Sing, is an excellent example of these principles in practice. 🎬 → The film’s team led with second chance hiring practices, including a cast of 95% justice-involved folks who had been formerly incarcerated at Sing Sing Prison. → They paid everyone – from production assistants to leading actor, Coleman Domingo – the same day rate *and* gave them equity in the film. This ensured that the justice-involved cast had true ownership over their stories, both narratively and financially. 👏🏾 Sing Sing premiered at SXSW and Toronto International Film Festival last year, and is now officially in theaters. I can’t wait to check it out. And if you’ve already seen the film, I’d love to hear what you thought! #FairChanceHiring #SingSing #PayEquity #InvestInFreedom
This is amazing, and it actually is now something I will add to my watch list. It is equity in action. thank you for sharing this!!
I have not seen it yet, but I do see that it's been picked up by AMC Theaters -- glad to see a major movie theater chain showing an important film like this. I"ll look forward to checking it out. Hot summer weather is a great time to duck into a theater.
Oh what an interesting documentary, I’m in Italy so will probably be a while before it gets to us but will definitely keep an eye out.

A film like this needs all the support it can get so that more people will get a chance to learn the reality of fair chance hiring. As an indie filmmaker, paying everyone fairly & offering equity of the film isn't easy to pull off. So, I am very much impressed by this.
Absolutely, fair-chance hiring is just the beginning. Creating an equitable working environment is crucial to ensure fair compensation and representation for all employees. Can't wait to watch the film!!

2moWow, I just watched the trailer and I'm blown away! The story is incredibly powerful and moving. Fair-chance hiring is just the beginning, and creating an equitable working environment is crucial for true inclusivity. It's not just about giving people a chance, but also about valuing their contributions and empowering them to have a stake in their own stories. Can't wait to watch Sing Sing and see the impact of these principles in action!!
