Eight Forty-Eight heard from White House press secretary Jay Carney, Congressman Joe Walsh and Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky. Then, the 2012 Oscar nominations were out Tuesday—and one film that was not on the list was the Chicago-made documentary, The Interrupters. Eight Forty-Eight spoke to The Interrupters filmmaker Steve James.
