We Interrupt This Empire… is a collaborative work by many of San Francisco’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 SF Indymedia’s Enemy Combatant Radio and the 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 Bush Administration’s imperialist drive.
