This week, the fest announced $15,000 in donations had been released to the subjects of “The Interrupters,” selected as part of the 5-year-old True Life Fund project. Directed by Steve James, the film provided a charismatic, compelling look into the efforts of CeaseFire, a Chicago organization that seeks to interrupt violence by mediating conflicts and intervening in the lives of troubled youths. Each year, the True Life Fund seeks to “demonstrate that documentaries create change” by offering “tangible and meaningful assistance to the subjects” of one T/F film, as the fest website says. It’s an effort co-director David Wilson said he was “immensely proud of.”
