We Interrupt This Empire - 7:15&9:15

We Interrupt This Empire...    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. Tues: 7:15, 9:15 Wed: 2:00, 7:15, 9:15 info: http://www.videoactivism.org/empire.html directions: http://www.redvicmoviehouse.com/directions.html
