Select showtimes of THE INTERRUPTERS will feature brief introductions by representatives from Impact One Community Connection and Omaha 360.

THE INTERRUPTERS tells the moving and surprising stories of three Violence Interrupters who try to protect their Chicago communities from the violence they once employed. From acclaimed director Steve James (HOOP DREAMS) and bestselling author Alex Kotlowitz (“There Are No Children Here”), THE INTERRUPTERS captures a period in Chicago when it became a national symbol for the violence in our cities and introduces us to a woman and two men working with bravado, humility, and even humor to stop the madness — in the process revealing their own inspired journeys of hope and redemption.

“May be the most necessary film you’ll see this year. But if you go to the movies in search of emotion rather than edification, don’t let that word necessary deter you, because this is also one of the most engaging films you’ll see this year, full of vibrant, complex real-life characters whose troubles and joys will stay with you long after the movie’s done.” (Dana Stevens, Slate)
