The Interrupters (2011) - Official Trailer [HD]

The Interrupters tells the moving and surprising stories of three Violence Interrupters who try to protect their Chicago communities from the violence they once employed. From acclaimed director Steve James and bestselling author Alex Kotlowitz, this film is an unusually intimate journey into the stubborn, persistence of violence in our cities. Shot over the course of a year out of Kartemquin Films, The Interrupters captures a period in Chicago when it became a national symbol for the violence in our cities. During that period, the city was besieged by high-profile incidents, most notably the brutal beating of Derrion Albert, a Chicago High School student, whose death was caught on videotape. The film's main subjects work for an innovative organization, CeaseFire, which believes that the spread of violence mimics the spread of infectious diseases, and so the treatment should be similar: go after the most infected...

They think it's bad there, take your to Juarez for a couple of days. 400 homicides is a drop in the bucket compared to 2800 in a calender.

@2211JW And it's funny reading about your "subway" story. How you just judged a person for being a menace to society because he littered. LMAO I feel the closest you've been around "blacks" is a family full of white people who's last name just so happens to be Black. It's people like you who are the true menace to society. Because you play devil's advocate and teach hate. These people don't need lectures, they need help.Which is hard when they don't have people to go to for it.

@2211JW I agree with the pulling the pants up part but I don't speak english I speak american. And slang / ebonics is an american language. If it's good enough for sportscenter to use it's good enough for me. And It's not like you don't understand what I'm saying anyway. It's easy for someone who doens't have to face these situations to judge them. And when you're not doing anything to help you definity should keep your mouth closed.
