Tio Hardiman and Cobe Williams of Cease Fire Chicago shared film clips from the "The Interrupers," the award-winning documentary film by Oak Park residents Steve James and Alex Kotlowitz, Monday night at Unity Temple. The Cease Fire staffers, guest speakers at the Community of Congregations Annual Meeting, said that Cease Fire recognizes that violence behaves like a disease and spreads like a disease.

The Cease Fire Chicago staff was joined by Janice Mitchell-Bolling, Violence Prevention Coordinator for Maywood.

"The Interrupters," directed by Oscar-nominated director Steve James of "Hoop Dreams," in collaboration with Alex Kotlowitz, author of "There Are No Children Here," will be aired on PBS Frontline on Feb. 14, 2012. To order a copy of "The Interrupters," see www.Kartemquin.com/store.
