  • To all those who vilify people and their efforts to promote peace and nonviolence: you are nothing to us and your comments are worthless! And the best stance the rest of us peace-loving folks can take is to completely disregard any and ALL negative posts here... give them no energy at all. And their words will die in the wind.

  • Stop killing your brother for vanity, and lets kill these government bastards thats fucking us in the arse.

  • Watched this last night. It was super intense. Made me think and cry and just want to go help people overcome this

  • That's all the black people need. To glorify ghetto ass ignorant shit yet again.

  • "from the director of HOOP DREAMS"  lol hahaha!!! yeah, that figgers.

  • gangbanging will never end in chicago

  • I REALLY want to see it. Is it in theaters?

  • I just saw this... I totally agree this is one of the best movies I've seen. Right up there with Dark Days.

  • Amazing Amazing Amazing documentary. One of the best I have ever seen. Raw and real.

  • This is one of the best documentaries of all time.

  • @freebird4481 You are not half the person any of these people in this movie are.

  • @SweetestTasteofSour

    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬­▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

    No I am not. I am twice the person than these people are in this movie. And you... you don't amount to a hamster shit tic-tac you drop-kick foot shit bitch trash corndog tit flick cock suck dinosaur salad bar motherfucker. Have a nice day!

    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬­▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

  • @freebird4481 kill yourself, faggot

  • @theheavens Aww did I make little dick bitch upset? You gonna cry? How about I pack your girl's pussy full of peanut butter and make you horsey-ride her fat ass straight into a fucking bear cave? You're the faggot you little dick salad bar nigger.

  • @freebird4481 I'm white hah. and you should still put a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger. btw I'm a licensed therapist, and yet I still approve of it

  • Who sings this solomon burke cover? I like it

  • I will be ordering this video looks so powerful!

  • If you're at all interested in this doc, you should read the book Don't Shoot by David Kennedy. Seems to be a similar message, but I haven't watched this doc yet. Very insightful book on gangs, inner city violence, its effects on young, black youth, and how to stop it.

  • They need to bring The Interrupters here to DC because these kids are really out of damn control! PLEASE COME TO DC!!! WE NEED HELP!

  • Much needed peace

  • just got done watching this, damn good film...and how in the hell could you not like this...i mean seriously!!! smh

  • May be the biggest Oscar snub of all time actually

  • @shigx1 ..Thats by design, of course. The Oscars are not political, they reward Nazi-sympathizers (The King's Speech) or films that perpetuate the worst in the inner-city (Precious), but not a sincere attempt to effect change, so that other communities take the lead - the Justice Department rewards Police Municipalities with the larger incarceration time, and outsources budgetary....things

  • @invincibleironman3 So... I'm trying to *guess* your reasoning here... "The King's Speech" was pro-Nazi because it didn't spend more time attacking Edward VIII? I think you're trying to push a political agenda on a movie that, while it was about a political figure, wasn't actually about politics. The movie was a story about Prince Albert / George VI, not about his brother. Failing to sufficiently damn Edward VIII (by your view) isn't cause for calling it pro-Nazi. It would have been off-topic.

  • Isn't showing a movie about violence when all the people are black kinda promoting racism?

  • @iFlute4life no my friend, not in this context. this movie if anything sheds positive light on violence. it shows that theres alternatives and opportunities for change if we really want them. the fact that a single person can "interrupt" violence from escalating and becoming a real problem is an action warranting much respect from me and most others, i believe. props.

  • @iFlute4life only in your bigoted mind

  • @iFlute4life It's shows that their trying to do something to fix it. Hopefully people will see it as a noble cause.

  • in the beginning, they show a fight, a girl with a knife, and a dude with a rock. in that group were 2 kids under the age of 7 watching up close. thats the problem with these animals, they keep breeding and teaching theyre young how to act. one piece of shit generation after another...

    im not really a racist, but i hate these types of people, they are worthless to society.

  • @adrewk The problem with the phrase "I'm not really a racist, but" is that it makes it so clear that the next thing you say is racist.

  • @irisjaye no, it just shows that what i was about to say, is not being said due to racism, its being said due to honesty. i hate all types of people, especially my white ancestors. is that hate racist too?

  • @adrewk

    I'm not really picky, but I hate it when people use the incorrect form of 'their'.

  • @hitheresunshine LOL...your crazee

  • LMAO!!!! I feel you on that one too!

    Their / There/ They're

    Too/ Two/ To

    Converse/ Conversate LOL!

    Regardless/ Irregardless I hate that one the worse. I can't stand when people fuck up the language like that.

  • Great documentary about urban violence and how a few people are hired to reduce it by talking to the potential troublemakers 4/5

  • fuckin niggers

  • I think I saw a white person in there somewhere... Though I'm pretty sure she was part of the camera crew.

  • @sublimerule So, WTF's your point?

  • @missingt00th That a documentary about violence shows all of the violent people to be black. But you knew that. Lol.

  • @sublimerule I'd love to see a documentary about all the white people being violent, and it would be much cooler if it was made by black people. Suffice to say that it would be an epic, and people wouldn't have enough time in a lifetime to take in the film. There's enough violence in white history to make a documentary that would stretch out from here where I stand to just short of eternity. We're that fucking sad.

  • @missingt00th There's probably one out there... Somewhere.

  • @sublimerule Oh, I see, you must live under a rock somewhere along the Bible belt where you have a history of robbing black people in order to keep your indignant selves on top.

  • @missingt00th What the fuck is your problem, it was just an observation, an accurate observation at that. I live in England, I'm not some fucking Jesus freak, I have black friends, I've never robbed anyone. You keyboard warriors hear one white person mention the word 'black' and jump on the racism train. I've been to 18 countries. You're probably just some know nothing kid that barely leaves the computer, let alone the country. Fucking self righteous moron. 

  • @sublimerule "Keyboard warrior" - I kind of like that. Fuck you limey.

  • @missingt00th Jesus christ what an idiot. Don't have kids... Not that you would ever get the opportunity.

  • @sublimerule Yeah, good comeback, twelve year old kid.

  • kanye west really can save the world

  • While I appreciate these people trying to do some good, I find the idea itself insulting.

    There are plenty of law abiding people suffering because of the CHOSEN BEHAVIOR of these gangbangers, drug addicts and other criminals. You don't see anyone trying to "understand" them, do you?

    It's ridiculous. Enforce the laws. Throw these people in jail and make them serve their full sentences. And allow law abiding Chicago citizens to be armed! The criminals already have guns!

  • @Yesica1993 The youth is always the people who can grow up and do better then us. It may be criminal acts, the invorement it dosent matter but they cant grow up and be better then us unless we guide them and tell them. You see? If we just throw people in jail all the time who will guide the young people to do better then what we did? All people choose how to live their lives but if they only see one choise its not much for them. Its good they show other options off life.

  • @ingenmansland Believe it or not, I used to think this way. But then I realized there are plenty of people who have all sorts of difficulties in their lives and do not behave in a criminal manner. These people get no help, no understanding and no documentaries. It's the criminals who are given all sorts of help. And I am SICK of it.

  • @Yesica1993 This is the most ignorant statement ever, why would you help a child who dont need it, or feed someone who is already full, so we should armed both side, well lets see how law abiding everyone will be when we take revenge, and yes I am Peace officer so please think with logics, we need to fix the problem, not fight fire with fire that will lead to self distruction, peace and walk with god, he came for the non believers and sinners, not the rightous, teach one save one

  • @Preco28 Instead of calling what I say ignorant, why not address it? I made some very specific points that you ignored in this nearly incomprehensible run on sentence. Why?

    The religious condescension is not needed either. Please address the points I have made, and then maybe we can have a productive conversation.

  • Great Movie... must watch.

  • Bleh the madness will never end hatred will keep breeding to put an end to the violence is to create true peace which we all know will never happen. Theres nothing to be done here and this will keep continuing until we have a leader who has the charisma to influence these people

  • they need to make a movie like this for all the hispanics

    thumbs up if you agree!

  • If they chop every killers penis like Saudi Arabia, most of these people will think twice before before committing the crime. Prisons should be a tough place without messy to these animals.

  • this aint no movie :S this is a fake documentary ...

  • liked.

  • 1:58 is the root of the problems going on in the hood.

    We have to give people a reason to feel empowered and love. Giving the area of financial base so people can provide for their families again would be an excellent start to end this madness!

  • I would love for them to bring this movie to Youngstown. We NEED this program in this town.

  • I just now heard of this cuz a program i go to called Pave is showing it.

    P-prevent

    A-assault

    V-violence

    E-education

  • This was film shot using the EX3? I was hoping you add more film look. Or color grade the video. I have seen the EX3 have a great film look.

  • Totally inspiring. Now is always the right time to make changes and as witnessed it's never impossible or too late. Difficult, yes, as all good things are. You people are an inspiration not just the violence ether, but with everything we have to deal with in our lives. We are stronger for this and all those brave enough to make that change. There's a lot of untapped potential that's been lost or wasted. The Interrupters and those who join in are Americas supper hero's not the captain.

  • As long as we live in a society where scarcity is built into the system, there will always be high rates of violence. It is time to change our whole market/ money system, by getting rid of it.

    Zeitgeist Moving Forward. Look it up!

  • I saw this trailer a few months ago and saw its rating on Rotten Tomatoes (99%). I've been excited ever since but didnt think id ever see it in theatres. Thankfully, Bell Lightbox in Toronto, is playing it this wk so will be seeing it w/ my gf, an inner city teacher, tmrw. Am excited!!!

  • I approve of this message

  • great film

  • Greatness and Excellence

  • song in trailer is "don't give up on me"... but who is singing??

  • end the failed "war on drugs" and a lot of this will go away

  • Comment removed

  • @mustache9000 That's nonsense. Race does not change one into a criminal. You need to look at what the people who commit this stuff were taught, what they "learned" and what they think of the world around them. 95% is due to the breakdown of the famly structure. That is due directly to the influence of the federal government, social planning, and socialism.

  • Comment removed

  • I didn't know that a movie trailer could make me teary-eyed.

  • Hmmm rotten tomatoes gave it a 100% so yeah, its a good movie

  • Man, I bawled so fucking much. My friends were basically just newborn babies.

    This is such a powerful film, we need to get it out in the community and let people know that people like this have the same basic emotions as everyone else

  • i was watching ifc about this trailer, there's was an actor i know that stopped fliming to do intervention in CA how crazy can he be? well i guess helping out is what he likes to do, he's name is Bougart Linares i told him to come here to TX but gangs here are different, we need help here with all our children killing eachother, i lost my son in 2010 thats why i came here to TX but it's the same here, i just don't know what to do..

  • wheres the KFC? >.<

  • People always love to judge others when they are sitting in their comfortable homes commenting on the internet. You do not know how a person's life is. Do not matter how similar it even is, there is no right to judge someone else whom you don't know. You do not know what things that person went through in life, nor how his parents raised him (if he eve had parents). Just think with an open mind and know that in certain places life is hard and when violence is all you see, that is all you know.

  • @ViPeRs1017 that's a cop out of an excuse

    Quoted from @ViPeRs1017

  • @JokoHaqa There are people who go through worse things than these people who manage to make something of themselves. There is no reason what so ever that these people can't either. They choose this lifestyle and then want to pass the blame onto someone or something else rather than taking responsibility for their own lives.

  • UNREAL! I love this trailer... stay strong, we are all in this together. We need to look at the reasons WHY we fight each other and fight THOSE!

    If everyone was fed and feelin' fine, then war would be irrelevant. Use your energy to fight the OPPRESSION that we have been tricked into believing is FREEDOM.

    You don't need to be black to be a slave anymore, you simply need to be born a proletariat in America.

  • We live in THE most violent nation that has ever existed on this planet. WE--Americans--rationalized dropping two A-bombs on the Japanese. Our military uses these poor neighborhoods to recruit for their blood money wars. They use as them as drug trafficking centers in cahoots with the CIA and the police. African American people know this better than anyone else. With this knowledge, you can plan it, stop it, and use your experience to revolt against your oppressors.

  • @rockerdc WE're not all American, idiot.

  • The trailer is the give-away, "Violence is like a disease. It spreads from one person to another. To cure it, you need to interrupt it." Okay, I realize that's just marketing, but it's also a steaming load of crap. "Violence is a disease, it spreads from person to person" basically implies that there is no free will and therefore no accountability for one's actions. That line of thinking suggests that the murderer is a victim (obviously). Good luck finding a "cure".

  • @dbr26354 ha. obviously you've never been to the southside of chicago, and i think you're taking it a bit too literally. so calm your righteous ass down. lets see you even try to make a documentary.

  • @zandey1022 people on the SSC don't have free will? Sadly, the group website uses that same "violence=disease" crap.Under this mindset, you're treating sentient human beings like they're lab rats. Well intentioned, maybe, but insidious. Organize mass hunger strikes till death (see Ghandhi) until the shooting stops, followed by massive civil disobedient demonstrations until the govt has to help. That approach toppled an empire. You just have to be willing to starve yourself to death for it.

  • @dbr26354 , too true brotha

  • I have watched a shed load of movie trailers. A shed load. And always with a cynical eye. But this is the first time I have ever applauded a trailer. (A trailer!)

  • Pooh satchel, what on earth do you know about it. Go and investigate Obama's record. Go and look at why he has failed, at who has obstructed him. All that it takes to change is hope - any programme, any government intervention, any effort to change people lives will work if it is loaded with the ammunition of hope - all that is missing is the resources to give hope the scale it needs. How dare you infect this film, and people's experience of it, with the cynicism that will kill that hope before

  • this is gone be good.....real, but somethin' to see....

    What Erry city need...especially Chicago is Jesus !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Jesus is the solution to our problems !!!!!!!!!! He's the Man we should be like...takin' upon His influence!

    Inheriting the faith & sticking to it! [Luke 8:11-15]

  • Looks like an okay documentary directed by do-gooder white liberal filmmakers. How long can this self-destructive behavior go on in the urban world? Answer: forever. Sad, truly sad. If only they could pull their pants up and get their damn act together, especially now in the age of Obama. A president hasn't made a single, solitary shred of difference, neither has reforming welfare in the 1990s, ending the war on drugs wouldn't do it. You can't fix self-destructive behavior. Maybe someday.

  • @Satchel334 "do-gooder white lieral filmmakers"? Have you even seen Hoop Dreams? These guys are beyond legit.

  • its going to take a lot of effort and capital to reduce such social decadence. They have become accustomed to hopelessness( no job or education) but they have guns and drugs. so what next ?

  • @2lou007 "no job or education"??? Foreigners come over and go to the same inner city schools and get an education and jobs.

  • I live in the Chicago burbs. If I knew how to help the south and west sides, I would.

  • what song was that playing? whoo mercy this looks legit

  • was a great documentary and really shows the side of chicago you don't always get to hear about. a gritty and true life tale of everyday struggles...including the story of my family in this film

  • Watching this Interrupters trailer gave me new insight on how just the title of this documentary is. Every time there's an act of gang violence, the spirit of everything the United States represents gets interrupted. It's no longer America. A symbolic tear occurs in the flag which symbolizes the greatest nation in history. You can readily see the person who was victimized but it takes a little effort by the mind and heart to reveal that everyone is victimized when such violence occurs.

  • amazing film!!!!

  • Kudos to the Editor! nice work!

  • the gang situation and shootings on chicago's south and west sides are horrible. too many kids having kids, fathers not around....it's a recipe for disaster. and there needs to be more education, more activities to keep kids off the streets and better job opportunities. right now, it's just a vicious circle of kids not being raised properly or in a good environment. i see the kids having kids as probably the biggest problem. that needs to stop.

  • teens, especially poor and uneducated ones, are ill-equipped to be raising babies.

  • fandangoing to see this

  • Powerful...2:29 minutes of raw emotional truth.
