Every City Needs Its Heroes
The Interrupters tells the moving and often surprising stories of three "Violence Interrupters" - Ameena Matthews, Eddie Bocanegra, and Cobe WilIiams - who with bravado, humility, and even humor, work to protect their Chicago communities from the violence they once employed.
From accIaimed director Steve James (Hoop Dreams) and bestselIing author AIex Kotlowitz (There Are No ChiIdren Here), this award-winning film is an unusuaIIy intimate journey into the stubborn persistence of violence in our cities. Shot over the course of a year out of Kartemquin Films, the film follows Ameena, Eddie, and Cobe as they attempt to intervene in disputes before they turn violent, incIuding two brothers threatening to shoot each other, an angry teenage girl just home from prison, and a young man on a warpath of revenge. The fiIm captures The lnterrupters' work and reveaIs their own inspired journeys from crime to hope and uItimateIy redemption. |
