Interrupt This Program_documentary series

Interrupt This Program uncovers the underground arts scenes in cities that have experienced major traumas: natural disasters, long-term war, political unrest or economic meltdown. This series documents the creative underbellies of five unique cities, each facing its own set of challenges: Beirut, Kiev, Athens, Port-au-Prince and Medellin. In each episode, we meet three or four young, determined local artists (plus one Canadian ex-pat to offer an outsider's perspective) who are committed to making art that elicits change, displays courage or protests their city's political and societal status quo.
