Warning: Violent imagery and graphic language

                                                   

Part I: [0:00 - 38:24]

 

  1. Pick three word to describe how violence in Chicago is depicted in the first few minutes of the film.

 

 

 

 

  1. What qualifies someone to be a Violence Interrupter? What is their primary goal?

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Ameena Matthews describes a recent situation she tried to de-escalate; does this encounter remind you of any concepts discussed so far in class? How did Ameena de-escalate the situation?

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Why is Ameena she uniquely qualified as a Violence Interrupter?

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. "It's a warzone and an epidemic." What, exactly, does this means? How is this accurate? How is this misleading?

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. How does Cobe Williams "turn the heat up"? Why do you think Latoya Oliver reaches out to Cobe—for example, as opposed to local police?

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. "Violence is like the great infectious diseases of all history." Why does Dr. Gary Slutkin make this comparison?

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. What is the two-step process Gary Slutkin of violence lays out? What exactlydo the Violence Interrupters "interrupt"?

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. "Death before dishonor." How did this sentiment shape how Tio Hardiman processed his step-father's killing of Tio's attacker at age 14?

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Does Ameena use different tactics to interrupt violence than men might use? If so, why might this be the case?

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Considering Ameena and Cobe, how is the role of an interrupter different than, or similar to, that of social worker, police officer or parent?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. How did family trauma and family ties shape how Cobe and Ameena navigated violence and substance abuse? What does this say about the social ecology of violence?

 

 


 

 

Part II: [1:17:07 - 2:04:00]

 

  1. Why do the Interrupters find the hypothetical scenario described in the meeting so difficult to deal with?

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Thinking about Joel Sanchez and other examples, what kinds of risks do Violence Interrupters take? Why do Violence Interrupters struggle over "walking away"?

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Spencer Leak describes "random violence." What does he mean by this, and how does it impact the mindset of young people about their future?

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Who does Ameena hold accountable for street violence? What does she ask community members to do?

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Listen to the kids talking to Eddy about their encounters with violence; how do guns matter to them?

 

 

 

 

 

  1. How do the different voices in the film weigh in on this question: Is reducing violence a band-aide, or the key precondition for bettering neighborhoods?

 

 

 

 

  1. How does Ameena's own relationship with her father shape her work as a Violence Interruptor?

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Why does Lil Mikey go back to the barber shop? How is Lil Mikey's apology received?

 

 

 

 

 

  1. "You took a life, now you pay with your life." Eddy reveals that he killed someone and has not yet confronted his victim's family. Does this change your view of the work he does? Should it change how his work is viewed?

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. What is the significance of employment in Lil Mikey's story?

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Why do you think Ameena emphasizes vulnerability and fear in response to Caprysha's school truancy? (Think back to what what Tia Hardiman said about "Death before dishonor.")

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. What does Flamo mean when he says he had to "attend to that fly"?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Final question: how does trauma—and whose trauma—shape both what work the Violence Interrupters do and how they do it?
