(Steve James and Alex Kotlowitz, US 2011, 125 min., Digital Projection)

Rochester Premiere! Filmmakers Steve James (Hoop Dreams) and Alex Kotlowitz boldly follow three Chicago individuals whose own criminal pasts have led them to an innovative anti-violence program. Using contagious disease as a model, these self-described “violence interrupters” attempt to halt “infection” at its source by intervening directly in escalating personal conflicts.
