This is way up there on my list of films to watch…

‘The Interrupters’ is a documentary following the work of an organisation called CeaseFire which aims to end gang violence in Chicago. The film focusses on three “Violence Interrupters”. All of them are ex-gang members and most have done time in prison for offences ranging from drug trafficking to murder. Their aim is stop killings before they happen, confronting gang leaders and resolving conflicts before the violence escalates. Essentially they’re trying to save lives. Extraordinary people doing extraordinary work. Out in cinemas now.
