Live Online Screening of The Interrupters

Posted on February 20, 2012

Kartemquin Films, PBS Frontline, and ITVS invite you to join the filmmakers and subjects of The Interrupters for a special live, online "social screening" of the film beginning at 5:30pm PT / 8:30pm ET. 

Follow this link to participate in the screening.

            

Watch The Interrupters Preview on PBS. See more from FRONTLINE.

Participating in the screening will be the film's producers Steve James and Alex Kotlowitz, and violence interrupter Cobe Williams. More participants are still to be confirmed.

The event will take place exclusively online. Participants can join for free by signing in with Facebook (or directly on the site), interact with other viewers, producers Steve James and Alex Kotlowitz, and violence interrupter Cobe Williams in real-time, while watching the film. 

Viewers can comment, ask questions, take polls, and even express their feelings about what they’re watching through a variety of tools on the site. This is an entirely new way of experiencing documentary films and it is inherently social. We are looking forward to an open, informative, and engaging public conversation about the persistent violence that plagues American cities.
