Coming soon to a theater near you...

This documentary film was produced by Steve James (Director of Hoop Dreams) and Alex Kotlowitz (author of There Are No Children Here).

The Interrupters will be released in July and August in selected theaters and will be shown later on Frontline (although I haven't been able to find a date for that). You can find the schedule for theater showings at the film's website, where you can also read this about their overall strategy.

Kartemquin Films intends to develop a national outreach campaign that builds on the exposure from the film’s appearance at Sundance and will continue through the 2011 television broadcast and beyond. The Interrupters Community Engagement Campaign will use the documentary as the centerpiece of a two-year effort to engage audiences and communities in reflection, discussion and action around the structural causes of street violence, and creative approaches for interrupting the cycle of retaliatory violence. The campaign will begin with the development of partnerships in key cities where we will hold community screenings. We hope to extend the idea of what an “Interrupter” is to include a wide array of people working on a host of related issues: public health, law enforcement, education, efforts around criminal and juvenile justice reform, economic development, reentry programs and job training, all themes that are reflected in the film.
