John Richie's documentary is a gut-wrenching look at how gun violence was devastating Black youth growing up in New Orleans. Its message is as relevant today as it was when the film was released in 2013. Join John, along with Patrick Young, director of the New Orleans Office of Gun Violence Prevention, Chico Tillmon, violence interrupter and Sr. Research Fellow at the University of Chicago Crime and Education Labs and Brent Peterkin, former CT statewide director of Project Longevity, the group-violence intervention program, for a discussion about how community violence intervention programs are a solution to this public health crisis that is disproportionately victimizing Black and brown communities. #InvestToSaveLives |
