The World Premiere of Beyond follows the men behind the prison walls of Sing Sing Correctional Facility who find a much-needed outlet in Beyond the Block, a TED-style public speaking symposium. Conceived and developed by an incarcerated planning committee, the event allows participants to explore their humanity in otherwise adverse circumstances. Beyond follows the presenters, from auditions to triumphant moments on stage, as they express their truths in front of an audience of policy-makers, prison officials, and loved ones.

There will be two in-person screenings of the film: 

• Saturday 11/15 @ 7pm at the IFC Center
• Tuesday 11/18 @ 4pm at the IFC Center
   

The film can also be streamed virtually from Sunday, November 16 - Sunday, November 30, 2025. Tickets can be purchased here.
