Viewing Notes
Easily one of the best documentaries I’ve seen in a long time, The Interrupters hits close to home as it’s about gang violence in Chicago, my adopted home (even though I live in the suburbs now, and even when I did live in Chicago, it was far from the areas in the film).
It’s pretty amazing to see people act so selflessly and put themselves in harm’s way to positively effect the lives of others and attempt to turn their communities around.
