"Interrupters"

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen and Everything In Between:

I recently watched a movie called the "Interrupters" on youtube.com
This movie changed my life and I guarantee it will do the same for yours.

The movie is about an organization called "Cease Fire" which is produced/directed by Steve James and author-turned-producer Alex Kotlowitz, The Interrupters tells the moving and surprising story of three “violence interrupters” in Chicago who with bravado, humility and even humor try to protect their communities from the violence they once employed.

It is filled with stories of gang members recovering from pain and heartache. 
One story includes a mother of three sons, one son is incarcerated and the other two are in opposite gangs

Have u ever been in a gang?
Have you ever had a family member that was incarcerated?

Another story is of a nineteen year old named Caprysha, who has raised her brothers and sisters and have fought all her life for the Love she was missing.
 

Kobe Williams and Ameena Matthews are two Interrupters, saving lives by getting involved. A character named Flamo experiences something extremely difficult to bare and is teamed up with Kobe in order to change his life around.
