Product Description:
Inside Chicago’s Gang War (Enhanced DVD) describes the gang violence in Chicago and the situation that it has created. There was a minimum of 419 people murdered within 12 neighborhoods in the city of Chicago in 2012 alone, which is actually a higher number than all of the United States troops that were killed in Afghanistan in that same time period. The cause for this is gangs in Chicago and their turf wars. This documentary is essentially a multi-segment ABC News program, in which Diane Sawyer, Cynthia McFadden, and the crews of World News and Nightline have gotten together to gain more insight into the situation. They have gathered 38 members of rival gangs in Chicago in one room for this video, and they have them talk about the slaughter, as well as potential ways of ending it. The program also goes into all sorts of initiatives that are in place and were put together to raise awareness of the violence that is going on and what can be done to stop it. Some of these initiatives are focused on helping troubled young people find meaningful activities that they can engage in that can fill their time in productive ways that keep them away from violence. The broadcast took place on October 18 and 19 of 2012 and had the end goal of looking into the question of how many young people in Chicago who are a part of these gangs are willing to make a change and help end the violence that has been plaguing the city for such a long time now.The run time is 26 minutes, and the copyright date is 2012.ISBN: 978-1-61753-876-6CC
