On the Frontline: Taking Back Our Streets (NR)

synopsis

Individual stories torn from the streets of Chicago make up this harrowing but profoundly hopeful investigation of gun violence and its aftermath. Bereft fathers and mothers, former gang members, fearful high school students, clergy, including activist Catholic priest Fr. Michael Pfleger, and a young man who thought about the consequences one bullet too late, stand up with scores of other ordinary citizens to reclaim their homes, streets, and schools.
