Program Details for We Interrupt This Empire

We Interrupt This Empire… (2003, DV, 52:17) is a collaborative work by many of the Bay Area�s independent video activists which documents the direct actions that shut down the financial district of San Francisco in the weeks following the United States� invasion of Iraq. With the audio backdrop including live broadcasts of Enemy Combatant Radio from the San Francisco Bay Area Independent Media Center, the documentary takes a look at the diverse show of resistance from the streets of San Francisco as well as providing a critique of the corporate media coverage of the war and exploring such issues as the Military Industrial Complex, attack on civil liberties, and the United States� current imperialist drive.

The Video Activist Network (VAN) is an informal association of activists and politically conscious artists using video to support social, economic and environmental justice campaigns.
