The Interrupters 2011 (Documentary)

Not too long ago, I came across a very moving documentary called 'The Interrupters'. It tackles the subject of urban violence with a focus on an innovative strategy being employed on the front-lines in hard hit communities in Chicago.

Innovative, because the Interrupters themselves comprise individuals who have been on the other side of the law and who for this reason can prove to be a huge credible asset in the battle against urban/gang violence.

The stories are sad, the interrupters heroic, but most of all in our damaged world to see people doing such important work is deeply inspiring. I say take uplifting where you can find it. A must-see.
