As the murder rate in Chicago’s South Side reaches epidemic proportions, the “violence interrupters” of CeaseFire take to the streets to personally intervene and defuse gang conflicts. From Hoop Dreams director Steve James and bestselling author Alex Kotlowitz, The Interrupters portrays a year in the life of three members of CeaseFire, former gang members now dedicated to stopping violence at its source.
The Interrupters will air on PBS as part of the Frontline series.
