Chicago: America’s Hidden War pulls back the curtain and takes an inside war-journalistic approach to the insidious violence that’s plagued Chicago’s streets for far too long. Through riveting access, this film exposes Chicago’s pervasive genocidal-like behavior; what birthed and contributed to this war; and why so little is done to stop the normalization of Chicago's new homicidal culture.
Though frighteningly eye-opening, this important documentary is also filled with actionable hope, turning apathy into empathy. Chicago: America's Hidden War ultimately culminates as a much-needed catalyst to wake Americans up & into action - regardless of locale - to declare Chicago: This is OUR war.
