The Interrupters is a documentary that tells a struggling story about heroic individuals who try to prevent violence in the city of Chicago.
These scenes in the Documentary showcase the violent action shown in Chicago. Many shots in the video show images of young citizens graves to emphasize how tremendous and devastating the losses are.
Violence can be broken! In order to prevent Violence we need to begin with our youth. It is harder to change an older person who is has lived through violence for many years rather than a younger person whose mind is still molding and could still easily change for the good. We need to continue coaching our youth in an effort to break this cyclical cycle of violence.
