Looking for a productive way to spend your Thursday? We recommend this evening’s screening of The Interrupters, Steve James’ multi-award-winning documentary about Ceasefire, a gang intervention group in Chicago whose members mostly came up in gangs themselves. James, who also directed the 1994 basketball documentary Hoop Dreams, has been snubbed twice by the Oscars, but his new film won the prestigious Best Director prize from the Directors Guild of America. Not to mention it garnered accolades from East Bay Express film critic Kelly Vance.
