Films in this playlist

1. Sing Sing — Greg Kwedar · 2023. Domingo’s performance makes creativity feel like a human right, not a luxury.
2. Rustin — George C. Wolfe · 2023. A star turn built from intelligence, speed, charm, and the emotional cost of political work.
3. Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom — George C. Wolfe · 2020. A performance laboratory: theatre, music, history, and bodies under economic pressure.
4. The Color Purple — Blitz Bazawule · 2023. The film’s heightened musical language sits beside Domingo’s ability to hold theatricality and truth together.
5. Passing — Rebecca Hall · 2021. A quiet companion to Domingo’s historical work: identity as performance, survival, and danger.
