DuBose: ‘Interrupters’ documentary must-see TV for all

My kids weren’t thrilled about getting out of bed early on a Saturday morning, even for a movie, but my husband had already taken his psychology students to see “The Interrupters” and said it was one of the most important films he’d ever seen. So when the Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva teamed-up with State Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia to bring “The Interrupters” to the Randall 15 for an advance screening last month, I knew we had to go. Besides, we got to have movie popcorn for breakfast. What’s not to like? The kids were game, so long as they could bring their video games – because, they said, they knew they’d be bored.
