    The most talked about anti-war documentary from the Bay Area is here in NYC.What happens when a trigger-happy cowboy with a pocket
    full of loot aims his guns on 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
    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 the live broadcasts of Enemy
    Combatant Radio from the SF Independent Media Center to
    SFPD's tactical communications that were picked up by
    police scanners, 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
    coporate media coverage of the war and exploring such
    issues as the Military Industrial Complex, attacks on
    civil liberties, and the United States' current
    imperialist drive.
