What happens when a trigger-happy cowboy with a pocket full of loot
aims his guns at an oil-rich, people-poor nation? The San Francisco
Video Activist Network presents the story you won't see on Fox News: an
eye-popping, jaw-dropping look at the Bay Area's radical resistance to
an illegal war. We Interrupt This Empire... is a collaborative work of
various San Francisco videographers. Segments include a documentation
of the direct actions that shut down both the financial district in San
Francisco on May 20th and the corporate profiteers of the Bay Area in
the following weeks, a look at the pro-war rallies and the "balanced"
media coverage they received, a sly critique of the corporate media's
role as Pentagon stenographer and a consideration of the war as a new
kind of imperialist project. (60m)
Q & A at evening screenings.
