Coming February 14: An intimate journey across the violent landscape of our cities through the eyes of those fighting to sow peace and security. The Interrupters presents unforgettable profiles in courage, as three former street criminals in Chicago place themselves in the line of fire to protect their communities. The two-hour film follows the lives of these "Violence Interrupters," who include the charismatic daughter of one of the city's most notorious former gang leaders, the son of a murdered father, and a man haunted by a killing he committed as a teenager. As they intervene in disputes to prevent violence, they reveal their own inspired journeys of struggle and redemption. From acclaimed director Steve James (Hoop Dreams) and bestselling author Alex Kotlowitz (There Are No Children Here), The Interrupters chronicles an unusually intimate, year-long journey across the stubbornly violent landscape of our cities through the eyes of those fighting to sow peace and security.
Watch on air and online beginning Tuesday, February 14th at 9 pm ET on PBS (check local listings). http://to.pbs.org/zh5C57

Bloods & Crips: Made In America [Full Documentary]by InhaleMMX7,663 views
This Documentary kept me awake i could'nt stop watching, although i was quite depressed at times but hopeful at times also. This is a great model, one that should be adopted by all the states with the same challenges around the country and other developed country's around the world like the united kingdom and others. London and Birmingham England needs this model, like yesterday, i fear for the young men and women living in these cities, who are experiencing many of the exact same issues.

This film is the best documentary I've seen in years! Amazing work, both from Ceasefire/Violence Interrupters and the director. Ameena and Cobe are pure gold.
